Pic request: Sunpro Tach

[Airmapper]

I'm thinking of getting a Sunpro Tach for my '70.

I have a Grant GT steering wheel, much smaller diameter than stock. I'm hoping someone has some photos of a similar setup installed on the steering column.

I'm wondering if it will be obstructed by the wheel. My wheel is off, and the dash is out, so I'm having a hard time visualizing how things will line up. I really need to get it now while I'm going back with the wiring though, so I can hook it up before I test everything and wrap my wires up.

Thanks!

Sorry no assembled pics, but check out my parts for sale thread to see pictures of the concerning parts for comparison. A 12.5" grant and sun pro presented no probs on mine when it was set up that way.

Could see the tach and dash just fine

I'll take a more direct-on pic tomorrow for you.

Thanks for the responses. I went ahead and put it on my order. Sounds like it will be fine according to you guys and if I do have a conflict I'm sure I can find a way to mount it where I can see it.

I took more pics today, just haven't uploaded them yet. My only wish would be for a classy mount for the column. Someone makes a billet mount, but I would just go & paint it black to match everything else.

Thanks, I like the way yours is mounted so I will probably try something similar.

I drilled a small hole in the plastic plating, under the column, and ran my wiring down through that. I'll get a pic of that too.

As for mounting, I just mounted it with a large band clamp (hose clamp), that I sprayed black before installing, and cut the excess off of.

Nicks Trix makes a billet mount.
