Most people on here frown on such silly modifications and i doubt many will offer you much help.

You may find someone who knows tho.

I thought they were for ricers as nearly every rice car has one.
For big cars yeah fair enough if you do track driving but the factory should do fine if your AU has it.

Unless you have some serious work done and the factory tacho doesnt read far enough (IIRC the AU tacho's read to 7000rpm) then that is the only real reason to put another tacho in your car, how about finding an Auto Electrician, they would be able to fit the tacho for you

if i was going to put one in a late e series, would i need a converter? or is the pulse signal off the dash loom enough?

dont know if you noticed or if your intellectually disabled, look at the dash cluster in this photo????

1. It looks like its 30 years old, gauges will no longer be accurate, or as quick/responsive to changes as a new autometer will

2. As far as i can see theres only a couple of gauges in that cluster, hence the need for some extras.


If you have spent money on your driveline, the last thing you wanna do is leave it in the hands of some vintage gauges that may read inaccurate and end up cooking your motor. hmm??
