[Vwdiesel] tachs . . .

[Gerald W Budnark]

Greetings all,

I'm quite new to the diesel world; in point of fact, not until next Tuesday
(New Years Eve - I hope that's auspicious) do I get the wee beastie. It's a
'93 Golf GL turbo-diesel. I'm not planning to do all sorts of changes or
modifications, but one thing I feel I'm gonna hafta change is that silly
clock that takes up half of the instrument cluster.

Can anyone direct me to a source for a tachometer that fits that space
(other that a wrecking yard - I already figured that one out)? My location
is south-central Ontario (Brantford, specifically).

I assume there's a factory tach available, and can't imagine why the
designers thought anyone would rather know the time than what revs they're
at, particularly with a 5-speed trans!

Thankee in advance,
