Tach Wiring Extension

Anyone if there is an extension available for the tach wiring harness section?
The section from the tach to the plug about 8" into the dash?
I'd like to move my tach up into clear view and twist it so red-line is at the top.
A nice male-female sort of thing would most awesome.
Thanks

You might be able to use something like this :-

The Tyco MQS connectors used in R50/2/3 are the same pitch.

Thanks!
Close but no cigar.
I am not wise in the ways of connectors.
If you are and can find me the same in the proper 18 I sure would appreciate it.

Junkyard is your best bet to get the proper connector.

Sorry I can't be of any more technical help, but please do post your results if you can get it like that.

I've always loved the look of a clocked rev counter like many old 911 drivers do...
