Make your life easier and get a 912 electric tach, you can find them at affordable prices.

For some reason I thought he used a 356 oil pump to power that tach. I was just going to break out that article to make sure Fabian. |

I guess the other alternative is to find a cheap electronic tach where the needle starts and stops in a similar position to the porsche one, and either swap the internals into the porsche one, or swap the porsche face into the cheap one? Someone must have done this in the history of hot rod building at some point?! here is someone else asking the same question, and kind of an answer. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82077&highlight=gauge+face |
