Mankee Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone have a standard rev counter know to be in full working order that they could lend me for a short period? Mine works OK up to about 6500rpm and then the revs soar to past 8000rpm! My engine doesn't go that high unfortunately. ☹️ The shift light (standard Supersport plus Emerald setting) works fine and the car drives spot on, so I just need to confirm that it's my rev counter that's duff. Car is around a 1996/1997 chassis and I'm not sure of the make of the rev counter, but there's only three simple wires behind it and no dip switches that I can see. Of course, I'll pay for postage both ways and donation to NtL etc. Back of the tacho looks like this (modded by Speedy Cables a few years before I bought the car): http://images51.fotki.com/v628/photos/8/42688/7812053/DSCF1560-vi.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetec Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Better still , yours for £30 plus postage.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks for the reply. That is a very tempting offer actually! The only thing is that the needle on my standard Caterham-branded rev counter is red, as it's been modded by Speedy Cables for the previous owner. It's only a minor detail I guess. When will yours be available? Wondering if I should get mine fixed, buy a used one or just go wild and spend £100 on a brand spanker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 well,ive just broke the glass in mine (damn) but i might send it to speedy cables to see if they can fix it. i think the new one is £160 at caterham,if youve found one cheaper let me know. do they do a bulk buy of 2?? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Ah, that's a bit of bad luck! As well as Speedy Cables, I found this company who might be able to fix our rev counters for £60 plus postage. A little bit cheaper than Speed Cables. The website is a little busy! I think our tachometers are made by Smiths, as the back of mine looks identical to this one from eBay, except for the cylinder switch. If I was to splash out on a new rev counter, I'd get a Racetech RTTC8, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
