I'm confused by your comment LOL? I wanted it to accurately mimic the design of the factory rev counter, so that it didn't look out of place in the car or require any cutting of trim panels (as many of these are NLA). Given the value of these cars now-a-days as well, it was important that the fitting was fully reversible as well. Not sure what is over-complicated about it, so would be interested in why you think that?
