I've got one of the small Sun-pro's that I mounted on top of the dash in the left corner. I took the steering mount and flattened the curved part of the base out. I pulled the dash/instrument panel surround off and sandwiched the mount between it and the dash. I used scotch lock connectors and tapped into the factory lighting and tach leads just behind the instrument cluster. No holes to drill. Nothing to cut. No adapter. The only problem I had was that at night some light from the dash lights would shine out and reflect off of the windsheild. A little foam weatherstrip tape took care of that. The tach is in the line of sight but it's not too obtrusive. I painted the mount gray and it helps it to blend in. It's small enought that it almost hides behind the inspection sticker that NC requires and it's clean enough that at a casual glance it looks like it belongs.
Sure it's not a high dollar guage but it reads spot on with my scantool and as far as not having a shift light?? You don't need one if you leave it in drive.:biggrin:
