63 pre air flow GT tach only fitted for 3-4 months, to fits to the column, you will need a column change shroud, the tach was designed to fit thru the gap where the gear lever fitted, The car would also have a centre console with 2 extra instruments, , oil pressure and amps I think, only trouble is fitting the centre console is you will then need an umbrella type Handbrake as the console interferes with the handbrake lever, I did a copy of a 63GT about 15 years ago, if you want it you will need to check to see if its a LHD or RHD as they are handed, and as such will also need the relevent column shroud,

The clamp that is missing is an arse to make, as it hooks around the plastic [bakerlite] and make it wrong, the plastic will break when you tighten it up,

BTW I sold a couple on fleabay about 4 years ago, and got good money for them,

[V8ian]

What do you have?? Aeroflow or Pre Aeroflow

[old skool freestyler]

think hes got a crossflow

[geoffersmasher]

crosflow

 

elec ignition

 

twin 40's

 

why?

 

will taht only work on pre crossflow?

[V8ian]

you still havent answered the Question??

[geoffersmasher]

oh airflow is to do with heating isnt it ?

 

i believe its an air flow as it has internal vents near back windows

 

am i right?

 

its a 65

[V8ian]

Now we are getting somewhere, The early type pod tach I dont think will fit the later dash!!, the other option that I was thinking of was the even earlier GT dash which had 3 instruments in a large Binacle, but again it will not the later dash,

If you want to go with the Lotus style Tach, you can use the GT pod that fits the dash panel that will give you 4 extra instruments

[geoffersmasher]

ive given up on it haha to much hassle im just going to go with an autometer gauge haha.

 

if i do its 30

the more for a 63 steering column surround

 

then i got to make the bracket
