Openometer Delete - 11/2018
I really don't like the openometer... not at all! I mean why do I need a gauge that takes up space (and looks like a strange clock) to tell you how long you have the top down?!
I loosely followed the guide here> https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-try-this.html
I got a second-hand Tach from an R56 and migrated my faceplace, rear PCB and needle from my R59 onto the white subframe from the R56. But instead of putting the "modified guts" back into my original housing, I used the new housing to delete the openometer pod and put the R56 tach back into my R59 pod to keep them safe.
The result, no more openometer!
I still have the digital one I can access if I ever do want to see the hours clocked.... (doubtful).
The other benefit, my tach pod now has matching silver trim like the rest of my car - MUCH better visually, in my opinion.
