Thanks Peter , ( I couldn't find my question on the list so I assumed it had
dissapeared into the ether again !)
A working rev counter is better than no revcounter, when my speedo is
reading aprox twice road speed (smooth as silk ) I would like something to
watch that is asccurate (ish) And to heck with the originality police LOL
My 58 Frogeye is fitted with Jaeger instruments at the moment, no gears on
the dynamo and only Lordy knows why the speedo is running at about 2:1 ,
unless you do of course , might it be that the car is fitted with a Morris
Minor engine and possibly a minor gearbox and diff ?
cheers Alan - PS guess what I'll be doing this weekend !
yep , chasin' freebie LoL - NOT
