Non-tach dash gauge lens from CJ Pony Parts

[Mesozoic]

Does anyone know whether there is a difference in the dash gauge lens between tach equipped and non-tach equipped cars? I wouldn't expect there to be, but CJ Pony Parts lists the lens they have available as non-tach equipped cars only. My car has a factory tach and the lens has cracks in it, needs replacing.

I believe the difference is there is no hole for the trip reset button.

So... just drill it out to match my old one?

That'd be the only thing I can think of.

This was posted on the site on how to modify the new lens for the reset button.
