Reconsider mounting an external digital tach. Much more accurate and precise than OEM, and large, easy to read numerals even in the 2 1/16" gauge size. After all, if it's good enough for Formula 1 and Indycar it ought to be good enough for us.
I use a Cyberdyne digital tach myself.
Embrace digital, it's the wave of the future.

trust me, no one will think its a race car... maybe a rice car.
just find a 97-98 lx or es gauge cluster and call it a day. keeps it nice and stock but now you can watch your rpms. a marginally inaccurate tach is better than none.95 ES

Since the photos were taken, the wiring harness has been covered with black wire loom and the 1/4" mounting bolts have been painted flat black to match the cup color. Pretty decent looking if I do say so myself.
But, of course, that's only my opinion and I could be wrong.
