Hi,

Is it possible to add a rev counter to a mini that doesn't have one? And if so how?

Cheers,
Dave

Yeah

One wire to coil
One to light of sort
One to ignition

I think that's it don't quote me tho I'm still learning electrics

The wires are there already on most minis, just need to get your mitts on a three clock dash and its a 5 minute job.

What about if I have a separate rev counter?

Cheers,
Dave

The wiring already fitted to all cars from the early '80s on will run any standalone tacho (except old RVI types), all you will have to provide is an earth and a lighting connection if not using the built in type.

hi i have a 1987 mini mayfair which i am re-building I'm going to order a new loom will the wires be there or will i have to ask to have them added. Any ideas where the best place is to buy a new loom from?

thanks lew

An '87 Mayfair had a tacho as standard I believe so they will definitely be there. They are present on the vast majority of late looms whether the tacho was fitted to the model or not. Auto Sparks is a good source for looms.
