|
|
Hi Folks
I'm just in the middle of testing a new Tachometer which I believe to be DOA and remembered my 61 Ghia came with a tachometer which I could perhaps test to ensure everything was right, so I grabbed it and realised there wasn't any info on how to connect it (and it was 6v anyway), so I Googled it and couldn't find anything about it apart from photos on some Ebay adds for something similar for a 356 so I thought I should ask here and see if anyone knows what its from.
Its 85mm and 6V, before anyone says its not from a Ghia you are correct I note that it was in an aperture far too large for it in what was a botched up car.
Thanks for any help.

Doesn't look like any 356 tach I've ever seen. |

There was a "Classic" series of gauges VDO made for kit car applications in the 1970s, but I didn't know these were available in a 6-volt version. _________________ Thanks,

Thanks guys, the Ebay listing was possibly just using keywords to get peoples attention, I'll try the other thread.
