    9000 rpm tach

    I have been fiddle-farting around and dummied together a 9000rpm facia. This is the first attempt:



    I drew up a few facias (8000, 8500, 9000) on CorelDraw and printed with a lazer colour printer onto an overhead transparency and the back of the transparency white. For this trial I slit the facia to fit without removing the needles - not my dash so I do not want to risk damaging the needles.

        It's for a M42 with bigger inlet and exhaust valves, Schmitthelm valve springs, Schrick Ti retainers, Catcams cams, mechanical lifters. Schmitthelm valve springs were being run in 6R4 metro and DFV Cosworths. They were reving the 6R4 metro with these springs to 13500 safely.

        8500rpms will not be out of the question.

          This would be cool for an s54 swap.

              I wish we could spin the tach around so that redline/max rpm is at TDC but it would involve major surgery or after market,


              I think it looks great

              if she goes for that, astroglide up your pole, have her lay on her stomach and slip it in slowly and bury it to your balls and leave it there until she relaxes. once she is used to it slam that ass like a screen door.

                Like this?

                I have spoken to an instrument tech and it'd be possible to rotate the tach but it'd take a bit of surgery.

                    It's easy to rotate. We did it in our track car.

                      You can't just reposition the needle?

                        Did you rotate the whole tach? How did you arrange this with the circuit board and pins? ... or did you just reposition the needle?

                          I think we rotated the whole tach. I'm not completely sure; James did it.

                              Cat just rotate it because of the way it fits into the housing unless you guys get a different cluster to us but wouldnt think so.

                              As mentioned, maybe needle repos
