Default Tach modification

I have seen a couple pictures on here of tachometers that have been modified with the redline at the top with the numbers running straight. Is this a simple mod? Recommendations where to have it done? thanks

All you do it twist the tach gage in the dash. Fairly simple actually.

5 minute mod. Just follow the initial steps in the gauge removal procedures from p-car.com

You mention numbers running straight rather than sideways..if that is what you mean, then you have most likely seen a tach that has had a custom face done. If you don't mind your numbers sideways (I didn't), but follow the DIY on p-car and you'll be good to go in about 5 minutes!

I sent mine to North Hollywood Speedometer and had the face replaced. Not expensive to do. The only downside in my opinion in the artificial redline. Basically the real redline for us non-RSR owners is straight up.

Sorry for the crappy picture

I wish I could find a speedo in KM (looks like your going faster) and a tach with the redline at the top with straight numbers.
