Default Speedo in 'line-of-sight'?

I was just looking at Wazza's beautifully finish car with a considerable degree of envy Wazza's Cobra update. and I noticed the centre console positioning of the speedo, and tach.

I would like to recreate the 250 GTO instrument panel which only had a tacho and then mount a speedo under the dash or down on the transmission tunnel as many GTOs did for road registration (see photo). I was under the impression a speedo had to be in 'line-of-sight', i.e. visible through the steering wheel, and I wondered how that is interpreted buy the RMS.

I'll ask my engineer but does anyone have information on this issue. Thanks
