Sorted. For anyone else fitting this type of tacho the wiring is:-

Brown - Earth (negative)
Purple - Positive feed
Green - LT pulse from dizzy side of coil.

Thanks to those who replied for their input.

I like tachos, what could be more useful than counting revs

Ah I see now, neat solution

Thanks for the reply Theo. How does the plate holding the gauges actually attach to the outer trim panel?

Thanks Mike, that's another option and it looks great but I do like the look of a flat insert painted body colour. Anyone got any idea on the wiring side of things?

I'm doing a similar job to Theo_NL in fitting some auxiliary gauges in front of the drivers side glove box. I've got a Jaeger Electronique tacho I'd like to fit alongside the oil pressure, water temp and ammeter but I'm unsure how to wire it up, for info the car has been converted to negative earth....

If it's ready to use that would suggest it's already diluted, does it say what temperature it protects down to? To use it you would need to drain the whole cooling system and heater then re-fill with the product. Personally I would buy the concentrate and put 50% water/antifreeze mix in - get the bl...

Sounds like the ubiquitous American 'restoration' show Lay off the pony tails dude

It sounds like it's out 180 degree, I managed to do this on my Commer engine re-build and had the same symptoms , ended up twisting the dizzy right round to get it running. Give that a go and if it works then you can work from there in setting it all up properly.

I had a heritage wing fitted after I had a bump and the body shop commented on how well it fitted.

Started it off with across pein hammer with the edge of the tube over the back of a vice and gradually worked the flare, then finished it off with a ball pein.
Not pretty but it worked.

Adblocker, it's a wonderful thing

I thought I would need a new exhaust soon, well the coke can repair didn't last as long as I hoped :oops: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/panky_2007/Ted/20150127_161349.jpg So now I have an 1 1/2" bore 'performance' system from David Manners. Unfortunately it's meant to mate with a Mari...

Traffic light air freshener to get rid of the whiff of the fag ends in the stick on ash tray

Take the bumpers and hub caps off and paint the lettering on the tyres with Tipex- worth yet another 15bhp I recon, we are talking period performance extras too?

Double check the needle valve, use a pair of pliers to gently pull the pin out that holds the float on and drop the needle valve out to check for blockages, I'm suggesting this as I has the exact symptoms and I did find a bit of crud on the valve seat. The filters can also create a problem as they c...

Sounds like you've inherited someone else's lack of maintenance :cry: It wont be the radio more than likely a bit of fuel starvation, take the top off the float chamber and have a look inside for debris and clean it out, then check the needle valve to see if it's partially blocked. Have someone insi...

Ha Haaaaaa
Had a tank ariel on my HB Viva

I wonder what they called the girl version
More accessories - map reading light, Paddy Hopkirk throttle pedal (worth at least 20bhp), stick on ash tray with period but-ends, side window wind deflector, string backed driving gloves, car coat and flat cap
