This just recently sold for about NZ$30 bit miffed I missed out on it.

The listing stated it was from a 60's cooper as an optional extra. not entirely convinced but very 'period' looking and would certainly look well placed on a mini dash.

Not 2" but a 2.5" Smiths tacho

sorry for the late reply,
i quite like this gauge how much is your mate looking for it?

also what would be handy is help with the wiring for it
does it have a plate where i can mount it or will it need an extra holder

[Nightrain]

Sorry it's not for sale he's had it since the seventies been in lots of his motors, was more in reply to dk's comment. Interestingly enough he did tell me he's seen a 2" rev counter as well.

If you are looking for a smaller tach, Smiths didn't make them... except for some very rare "sidesweep" (not round) ones.

ive seen this one this morning and stuck a bid in
im willing to pay loads for it, its really nice

[dklawson]

Thanks for that also Nightrain.

Out of curiosity Nightrain, has your friend seen an in-dash 52mm Smiths tach? I expect the eBay item could only be used in its mounting pod since it has that external circuit board.

[Nightrain]

Yep said it was 2" standard size gauge, think your right about them needing to be used in the pod with all the extra circuitry.

[adam_93rio]

so i let the one on ebay go the other day because i saw this other one
its a tim 52mm one, dash mountable
but then i have also bought a chrome dash mount for it,
its all gonna be cool and cost me around £50
ill put pictures up when they get here and then when there in aswell
