Is there an NSN for the speedo/tach mount on these? I'd love to move my speedometer and tach to a more visible location.

I have not found the ROPS TM's at all that I can recall to even source the part #. I can also say that I have never seen one of those dash plates pop up on ebay or anything since i have looked for one for 2 yrs or so. I am having a dash unit made to modify my setup by a gentleman with a cnc plasma

I know, I've been watching too. I guarantee you there's a warehouse full of them somewhere. It's the government, they can waste money better than anybody. They probably have hundreds just sitting and rusting away until they get sold in a scrap lot.

Any chance your guy could make two of them? I'd love to have speedometer, tach and a 2 inch hole for egt.

My setup will not be like that. I do not like it over the center like that in the ROPS trucks ive driven The trucks that had the smaller steering wheel I did not mind the tach and speedo in front of me but the larger steering wheel it just didnt seem right. I am mounting a gauge/screen/switch panel to the center windshield split.
Mine will be a 7in TV hole and 6 gauges and 8 switches on a vertical box.


I know they crushed all of the ROPS cabs at Chambersburg and that ones that came out of Ft. Riley. so other parts may have been done as well.
