Found this when going through boxes of my type 3 parts, and do not recall where it came from. It appears to have mounts made for a type 3, but the face is different than any other I have seen. Part number is 230.30/4 and it was made 11/69.
Let me know what you experts think...

Opels are not a common car here in the great white north. I did some internet searching and found some opel tachs...the mounts are different. But upon closer inspection, the rust spots on this tach show grind marks and the tabs are not even, so I figure some inventive type 3 owner modified this unit. With that being said, if anyone can use it let me know, as I have Thomas repop and a gas heater clock, so it isn't of use to me...and I won't be asking a fortune.

Sorry. I have a gas heater clock and a repo tach so I won't be using this one.
