Autometer moster tachs have a small body with a large front. the small body part should fit in the old jones hole.

The AutoMeter fits perfect, use the mount that comes with it and mount it behind the dash so it's not solid. I was going to that with mine but I kinda liked it better on the column!. You can't beat the AutoMeter though!.. :cool:

S/W should have a matching tach to go along with the rest of your guages I would think!... :confused:

I agree that S/W should also have a matching tach.
I just went through the same thing. But all my other gauges were already autometer. This tach fit the old Jones hole pretty well.

Dave, why the grab handle on top of the dash? It's an ex ski race boat and I'm keepig it's heritage intact.
