It’s a direct-replacement strap and base kit designed to accept tachometers with a stepped case (approximately a 3 3\/8\" diameter section where the strap clamps). The assembly is straightforward and intended for motorsport applications only; it is not designed for street-legal installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this adapter do for my tachometer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3209 strap secures the instrument in a pedestal mount and reduces vibration transfer to the gauge, protecting internal components during racing.
