Original style 5k tachs are available from places like LMC, Brothers, and Classic Parts.

Thanks! I found the tach at LMC. Didn't see that there before!

Adding up the parts and material costs it looks like it could exceed 400 easy with the tach cost being the biggest expense. Adding a clock/air/vacuum gauge to the other side will bring it up even more.

Less than a new cluster from Dakota and original. Both good things depending on your taste.

LMC will probably be the most expensive. Shop around and I think you'll find one cheaper. I imagine they're all made by the same manufacture. You're not kidding about cost adding up; I'll have around $600 in this one not counting the donor cluster or the Air gauge that I already had.
