[Public-List] Tachometer and/or cable

[Amy & David Swanson]

I made a lexan piece to cover the open space in the cubby where the compass 
mounted (right above the motor & alternator, not a good spot for a compass) 
and mounted an electric tach there.  I planned to make a new instrument 
panel over the winter, as my original tach, temp gage, and hour meter not 
longer work, but it just didn't happen.
