ok started V2 of the dash.
V2 entails totally removing any evidence of the tach even being there.
started looking at it this morning and I reckon I can make a insert to fit on top , high fill,sand,chamfer and make it look like this:
(yes this is a nismo 33 item - concept is what I am going for. note chamfered edges around the screen)
so it looks like I will need another 32 cluster to work with..
(if you know of one - tell me.)
