I just used the bezels, needle and glass from my OEM Tach.
You will need a Dremel tool too. I also painted the inside top section with
light blue paint like the OEM housing.

Hi Jim
Actually, you need a little more than that...
To make one of these tachs you will need the Autometer Cobra #201004 tach,
one of Paul's reworked Alpine faces ( you supply it ) and the inner and
outer(chrome) bezel from a 4" Jaeger instrument along with front glass( an
old speedo has these same parts ) and a matching needle from a Jaeger tach.
I don't think the speedo needle will work as it's quite a bit heavier than
the tach needle.
You then have to some mods to the Autometer case to make it all fit...

Duke,
That tach is super ! Good work to all involved.
Seems that one would need three components:
1) the tach
2) an Alpine tach face
3) custom lettering
Could you please share the model and part number of the unit you used for
the tach (#1) with us?
