Hood mounted tach..
 

Has anyone ever seen this done to a bug? I am wondering how it would fit into the germanlook. I have a guy who is really good at custom fabiraction and he has done them on old american muscle cars like this; http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions...505-23829d.jpg

there was a guy on thesamba selling carbonfibre bonnets with a sort of scoop like that for the tacho about 2 months ago

Seems very functional to me. Therefore, it is quite GL IMO.

You mean something like this?

(as installed on the "Inch Pincher IV drag Bug)

yep, that is pretty much exactly what i was thinking about. I am going to put some thought into this, as I do not want to get my dash all crowded up with tons of gauges.

make sure it's sealed against rainwater, that indent looks like it'd make a nice puddle after a shower :D :D

trevorbrady,

That is exactly what corssed my mind, and why I probably wouldnt go for something like that. Also, I wouldnt trust a RPM gauge to be out in the rain(even if I could seal it up). You just *know* that water is going to get into it somehow! :mad:

Not the nicest but useful
