F-500 Instrument Panel RPM Gauge Question

Post by cghstrojan08 »

What is a good rpm gauge the will fit into the F-500 instrument panel? Would a hole-saw work to cut the hole out?

The smaller Sun tachs, or a Stewart Warner will work, and yes, a hole saw should work.

Hole saws work fine, just clamp the F600 panel down to something you don't mind cutting into and start a pilot hole.
