Thanks for the offer, Lou, but I would like to keep the car as it is. I’ll take a closer look behind the clock today.

I removed the clock and Tach assembly and replaced it with a later model "factory design" that switched the positions of the Tach and clock so that the Tach is centered and easier to see. In addition to the "factory housing" - it requires a special metal attachment  piece which is NLA. I made a  replica attachment piece by trial and error and I made a shop drawing of the final design that works nicely. I also have an extra the "factory housing" I got on ebay a while back  if you are interested in changing your setup to the later design. The wiring is the same of course, as I recall there is a wiring diagram in the Factory workshop manual for the early 2000TCs (mine has a dynamo (generator). I don't recall  how I got it apart but I would start removing the screw in the back that holds the clock in place  I am in the course of moving so it will be a while before I can help you further. Stay in touch...

It does not have the clock and tachometer mounted together in their own housing with the clock to the left  of the tach.
