Monkey's second picture is exactly what I was thinking of for the tach mount. If you take that piece and invert it, the stock tach bracket would mount to the do-hinkey that sticks up. I can easily measure my AutoMeter bracket. I think the collar that goes around the steering column should be slightly oversized so a thin strip of rubber (maybe a section of bicycle tube) could fit between it and the column. Both a paint protector and an anti-slip device.

Yakima did make some brackets a couple of years ago for the Nissan XTerra that work beautifully on a cage. They're called XTowers but I don't think they're made any more, maybe you could track down a set. Here's some pictures (before restoration...)
