Smiths mechanical tacho

Postby Nobby » Mon Oct 06, 2014 12:33 pm

Can someone tell me ( or offer any advice) where I can get a smiths tacho , cable and drive ( chaincase mounted) as per Af/ 60s spec, they are all different ratios so would be good to get the right drive for the right tachometer!!
Cheers....

i dont know if there was a specific type, i matched my speedo as close as possible, i bought mine on ebay and had it recalibrated by A GAGG & sons, very nice to deal with , he supplys the drive and made the cable etc, its costly though , if you can buy one on here already done you would be better off, heres a pic of mine ....

You will not be disappointed with Tim Mason. Unless you're lucky you 'd be hard to beat his prices.
