Anyone fitted a stack rev counter in their dash? Looking for inspiration.

I have, replaced standard rev counter and had a plastic face made to hide gaps

Looks cool, got the recall in the hole where the speaker joystick was!

just the rev coutner for me Daz - as the std one is so innacurate, without the laptop connected you never truly know what rpm you're at. The full display system is top notch - and top dollar!

thinking of doing this to mine...but considering what to go for....dunno whether to get stack, or go for something else which looks a bit more fancy and lights up the same colour as the rest of my gauges

Which is why I am undecided at the moment. My dash is entirely standrad and I have no other guages at all....

It lights up blue, and lockwood do some blue lit dials. I like my dash to match too, but you can't beat stack for accuracy and build quality
