Custom Tach Designs

I have searched the forum and found some awesome threads and ideas. So I thought I would share my designs and get some of your opinions/constructive criticism. I might just bite the bullet and have North Hollywood redo my tach but in the mean time I'm toying around with just a few designs. Let me know what you think?

This first one is inspired by Ferdinands famous quote and the second one is from a compass I saw...

I want a tach with integrated volt meter and some sort of BIG and bright light for the alternator. If the alternator quits because the fan belt breaks you have just seconds to get shut down. The little stock alt light is pretty small.

North Hollywood is awesome they don't mess around... I got quoted a little over 200 bones for a 1-10k tach with a volt meter... Not too bad... Might end up doing it in a few months.. In the meantime this will have to do..
