Think the tach needs to move left and up about an inch, smaller guages too perhaps?

Can't,the rev counter would hit the binnacle and there's no more clearance behind to have it higher.

 

Actually,I'll check tomorrow,I may be able to move the while thing a couple of mm to the left.

Think it would be better doubled up, flipped over and painted blue to match the car.

 

I'm bored so made a mock up... :lol:

Good suggestion.
That's exactly what I've ended up with.I'm happy with that.Just need to prep it and paint it,going with body colour initially
