we used to rotate the tach and speedo to bring redline to 12 o clock and the upper end of speed range into better sightline , or some just swapped the oil pressure and speedo gauges since they merely sat in wells.
even so, you cant unobstructively visualize 5 gauges worth of info unless the steering wheel is lifted from an 18 wheeler truck.

it was much worse before the 996 ushered in the current 5 overlapping guages : we used to rotate the tach and speedo to bring redline to 12 o clock and the upper end of speed range into better sightline , or some just swapped the oil pressure and speedo gauges since they merely sat in wells. even so, you cant unobstructively visualize 5 gauges worth of info unless the steering wheel is lifted from an 18 wheeler truck.
