Need help with tachometer height

Hi guys ! my '02 S is equipped with a quick release connected to a MOMO steering wheel (really small compared to OEM ) and now i can't see the tach correctly. Is there a way to get it to sit higher? every way i tried to position my self, the steering wheel or my seat there is alway a critical part of it i can't see.

Remove the two Torx screws that secure the tach to the steering column. Slide the tach out of its bracket. At this point, you will have an unmounted tach, but still attached to its wiring harness. I think there is enough slack in the wiring harness that you can fabricate a bracket to make the tach to sit higher.

thanks for the answer ! it did help a lot..after removing the tach i went and decided to get longer screws and put some washers in between the speedo legs and the mounting bracket. It sits higher while still keeping the factory mounting point
