I want to fit a rev counter to my 90 2.5NA, even if not a permenant fixture I would like to set one up to check some things.

Someone correct me when I go wrong, I get a rev counter, deck one side and put the other on the W terminal of the alternator?

Is this all I need, secondly, if I did want to put one in as a permenant fixture, where would could I mount it? I have one free small dial housing, but I doubt you could get one small enough, or could I?

try Vehicle wiring products they sell guage mounts as well. Alternatively a motorcycle breakers will have some smaller dials, but the 8000 rpm redline may be just a tad too optimistic.

places like demon tweeks sell small dials, like rev counters that will fit in the apertures on the standard dash. as they are designed for rally cars etc they normally have an adjustable redline. hope this helps.

Do you have any idea how much they charge for it? they don't seem to have a pricelist!

Yea, I hope so, mind you there is a bunch that want £60 odd quid for one, or am I expecting too much for my money?

if they are too expensive try demon tweeks as suggested above they are pretty resonable
