This video clearly outlines the steps to complete the job and provides a clear verbal description. The area of interest is the left side of the dashboard, specifically the two air vents, both of which need to be removed to install the rev counter and connect the power cables.

Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the grilles of the vents, open the left end of the dashboard, removing the screws with a crosshead screwdriver to create the necessary access for positioning the rev counter. This is a straightforward job.
