A Clock in the Tach

BigBrother-84
This post was updated on .
Hi Gentlemen!

I am planning to replace Big Brother's cluster tachometer blank by a hands clock.

I read that installing a tach isn't very complicated (requires a printed circuit, or a used replacement cluster, or a new digital one like these), but, for my use, a clock would give me more useful information than RPM.  Matter of taste...




I am wondering if I am losing my time, maybe some manufacturer already produces something like this?




If not, let's rock the workbench!

Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

I remember cars of that era having an analog clock in the dash/instrument panel, so it wouldn't feel out of place.  

I like my tach, but I could see this being a good use of the space for those without tachs!
