_If you have a cracked face, use this glass to repair your tachometer._ _The Sun tachometer is not included in the listing. Shown to Illustrate what it looks like upon completion._ _I am happy to combine shipping with other items purchased at the same time._ _Thanks for looking and Good Luck, Pete_ _**Installation Process** is somewhat involved, but doable._ _You will need to remove two bezels. (1) The chrome bezel you see on the outside. That work is easier, but you need to be careful because any damage done will be seen. There are usually 3 factory crimp points for this chrome bezel I focus on. I use a very thin screwdriver (think one of those tiny screwdriver sets) to insert and gently pry the crimps back. Easy and slow, you don't want to crack the bezel._ _(2) The next bezel is a longer affair to pry off.. I use a bigger screw driver to slowly go around and pry it off. The work you do here will not be seen once you reassemble. It will be covered up by the chrome ring. If the chrome bezel does not fit back on after re crimping, I sometimes have to file the outer edge of this bezel until the chrome bezel fits. I sometimes glue the chrome bezel back on.. sometimes it just snaps into place._ _(3) You will have to transfer the center pointer from the old glass to new before reassembly. I use two sets of pliers (curved, not flat) and get a really good hold of both the knob on front and the pressed on brass circle in the back. Then I slowly twist back and forth until it breaks loose and then eventually comes off._ _(4) While the center pointer is off, use some nail polish and paint the red needle... its probably faded by now._ _(5) To attach this pointer back to the new glass I have used two methods.. gluing the brass circle back on or pressing it back on in a vise (be careful here). In both cases, I typically use a round file to remove a little material in the center of the brass fitting. You want the needle to be loose enough to turn with reasonable force, but tight enough where it stays where you put it._ _I hope this is helpful. I have sold 100+ of these, twice I got feedback it was too difficult, but I have no idea how many were successfully installed. Pete_
