The special design of the tachometer base allows for a
variety of mounting possibilities. Loosening the hex screws
at the mounting base allows the tachometer to be rotated in
the shock strap. This will also allow the tachometer face to
be angled forward or backward for better viewing. Attach the
base using screws provided or some other means, such as
pop riveting.
