Default Speedhut tach w/ shift light, and a vacuum gage for my 2008Bullitt. Feedback please.

Hey guys, I’m interested in getting a Speedhut tach w/ shift light, and a vacuum gage for my Bullitt. I’ll get the black face with green and the Bulltt logo. I wanted to know where would the best place to mount them, and anyone have experience in installing the tach? They say you don't need an adapter for the Speedhut Tach, so how does that work?

i like the vent pod holders for the gauge. and that seems a little bulky to mount on the dash. if you'd like something else you can get the raptor shifter light which people typically mount on the sun-visor area.

there also is a gauge holder that mounts on your steering column that is a dual holder
