Prepare the Tachometer

Start by pulling the lever on the steering column to allow you to adjust it to its lowest setting. This will allow you access to the two torx screws that bolt the Tachometer onto the steering column. Remove the two factory-mounting screws from behind tach, and set them aside for now, you’ll need them to re-attach the tach soon.

Lean the face of the Tach down toward the steering column giving you a view remove the top and left (left as you face the back of the tachometer from the drivers seat) screws from the tach. You will not need these screws for this installation, but if you want to keep the Fixie for your next MINI and return this one to stock, you will want to save them.

Mount The Fixie

In the two, now empty screw holes, you will first place the plastic spacers. These will provide a stand-off so that The Fixie does not rock back and forth on the rounded surface of the tach.

Then, place The Fixie so that the two holes in the arm line up with the two spacers, and start thread the included screws into place with your fingers.

These screws are both longer and wider than the ones you removed so that they get a good grip on the plastic you are inserting them into. Now use a screwdriver to finish securing the mount.

Do not overtighten the the screws! It is just plastic afterall, once it is difficult to turn and the bracket feels solidly attached you should not keep tightening it or the plastic in the tach can strip. If this happens, it is repairable by using some epoxy on the screw, but let’s just avoid it in the first place.

Put the Tach back

When putting the tachometer back into place you will want to be sure to get it back under the rail you slid it off of in the first step. It is possible to install the tach above the rail, but you will notice the tach leans back if you do.

Slide the tach into place and look over the top to see that the holes have lined up. Now replace the screws down into the steering column to secure the tach.

Attach the XXL Clamshell

You’ll now have the bracket with the ball end installed, you just need to attach the clamp.

Unscrew the ring on the back of the clamp, and slide the ring over the ball on the Fixie. Then clip the socket over the ball and tighten the ring over the socket. That should do it. Enjoy!
