3rd gen rallye dash tach conversion question

To all those who have converted a 3rd gen rallye dash with a clock to a tach:  What did you do about the hole for the clock setting knob?  Just leave it there and live with it?  Did you replace the lens?

as far I know, tach clusters got the hole too... just with a rubber/plastic plug on them. Like standard clusters did

I didn't even think to check the original dash from the car.  You're right, there is a plastic plug that I can use in the rallye dash.  Thanks Nacho.

:iagree: I've seen that.
I would suggest as long as you have it apart, get a set of new lens' from a member here or on the 3rd gen forum.  As a a few months ago he only had a few sets left of which I purchased a set.
For the life of me I can not find the thread.

Yep, that is exactly what I did too.  Used the plug from the tach cluster.
