    Hi I'm after a rev counter.
    Be ideal to find a 52mm one with case and bracket to match my oil temp gauge but beggars can't be choosers.
    Also interested in a dash rev gauge that could fit in the third spare holder.
    Don't want to spend too much so it dosnt need to be pretty but does need to work.

    Thanks Mork. Looks good.
    Can the bracket also work from top if you want to mount under dash?

    @MorkC68 did this come in pod case with bracket or did you get separately?

    the one on ebay looks slightly different from yours. You seem to have a logo on yours and the ebay one dosnt. Is it still same model?

    I bought them separately - I don't think the case/bracket was too expensive, £20 ish - the one one ebay I linked was the first 52mm gauge that was close, the wiring will still be same as mine!

    Its whatever looks best for you at the end of the day :D

    Would consider a whole new dash with rpm built in as my fuel gauge is dodgy too.

    Heres Gusbus' dash; we used an 84mm VDO rev counter from Just Kampers along with some other worry gauges!

    @MorkC68 Nice!
    Does your fuel gauge work ok? Ours bounces about all over the place and only shows when full, half full, quarter full and empty. Dosnt seem to show anything in-between.

    The good news is he'll be so worried looking at the gauges, he wont notice the rattling and banging coming from the engine bay....

    haha yep. Its been fine for last 4 years. If someone was selling a whole dash unit with rev and working fuel then I would also be interested though.

    Its unlikely to be the gauge at fault; more likely the sender.
