If are looking for a tach, your going to want somethin bigger, and easier to read... 98 Black Mystique; Duratec/ATX "Mystique, the luxury SVT" P.S.

I cant say i have heard of a tour with a 5speed and no tach. If you really want a tach, you can get a good new guage cluster from bnoon. He makes the black faced and the phantom ones. It replaces the cluster where your speedo and gass is right now. The A pillar pod is more more of an afermarket look, with other functional guages... 98 Black Mystique; Duratec/ATX "Mystique, the luxury SVT" P.S.

Unless Brad has a new product, he only produces the guage faces, not the actual guages. I think that base Contour required the Sport package or some other package to get a tach. Might be somewhat rare to find a MTX w/o tach, but it certainly was possible. I'm pretty sure there are a couple guys in the Zetec forum running around w/ MTX's and no tach. Kai put a tach in the coin holder on the dash, something that I have been thinking about doing. Click on his webpage in this thread and take a look at it. Save Contour.org -- Donate Now!

I know of one guy (beyondloadedse) that exchanged his gauges for an SVT instrument panel...not sure if he had a tach previously though. Ryan Latest Mod: Mirko Splitter
