Tach housing without NAV same as with NAV

Mainly what I need to find out is if the 2 screw hole measurements are the same distance apart on both? I emailed Craven and never got a response so I figured to try and ask here.

They have a simple bracket for cars with NAV that would be a nice simple mount for my Garmin. I really don't like the flexpod as it is more expensive and overboard for just needing a single side mount. I wish Craven would consider a kit or at least also offer a simpler bracket then the flexpod for 1st Gen cars like they do on the 2nd Gen ones.

If this works it will solve my problem.

I can check when I'm home tonight. Looking at my installation photos for InvisiLens, they appear to be about the same distance but I'd have to directly measure to be sure.

Thank You. I would just buy it but it is expensive enough that I don't think that is the best thing to do. If I had access to a car or a club member soon I would go that route.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately the spacing is not the same. The spacing on a Nav tach is about 5 mm smaller than a standard tach. Maybe buy one and drill it out?

However, their product descriptions are very confusing. I think you are referring to their Bracket Z product. At the cravenspeed website, if you enter a search for "bracket z", it seems to be used for both Nav and non-Nav configurations.
