Hi,
Anyone that have a DIY description of how to rebuild a 7k Tach to a 10k Tach ? and from 4 cyl to 6. I would think that there is someone who has done this. Any potmeter adjustments, og parts that needs to be replaced ? I know that NHS does this, but would be nice to do it and just buy a new faceplate |

I have toyed with the idea of doing just this, but I never got into the world of stenciling. The key part of doing this conversion is the faceplate, where would you buy one? Since you can't buy a 10k Porsche faceplate, I think you would be forced to find someone that could redo the artwork on a existing 7k tach.
If you can get past the first hurdle, the electronics would be easy. I would only need to know the angle between each 1k tick mark to be able to calculate the proper gain for the tach drive. |
