Question: was a tach avaible for the 411/412 models as an option?

I can't recall ever seeing one. Doesn't mean they didn't have one, but with the majority of type 4s having automatic transmission I don't think there would have been much call for them. I don't see one listed in this 1972 411 accessories brochure:

I went through all type 4 parts catalogs, even been looking at dealer internal accessory catalogs but no trace of a tach for type 4s. |

I would say no, never seen or heard of that. The 1st VW with tach ought to be the 914.

They were available for Type 3 as an option. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

I thought they were also available for the Bay's as an option as well. |
Possibly- I've seen Bay clocks, but never a tach. Type 3 tachs go back to '61/'62. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

Oh thats intresting bb412, never seen that before! Does it look to be a VDO gauge or what? Im wondering if it was a factory/dealer option or an aftermarket one...
(I think the upper rpm range limit is enough for 70's flat four VW's )
