Thread: Tacho

I got a genuine Isuzu tacho. from Zenith Engineering in Brisbane. They are the Isuzu industrial engine dealers. This works off the injection pump. You unscrew one of the four bungs underneath the pump and replace the bung with supplied sensor.

The picture shows the 0-7000 RPM one, but it's also available with a 0-6000 RPM range more suited to a diesel than the 0-7K or 0-8K ranges.

Here's a cheaper 52mm tacho that is available with a 0-4000rpm scale:

Clean , Is the Euro spares a dash mount or dash top mount

Dash by the look of it. my dash binnacle is shot and its $110 for a new one, though im not sure if thats a county one or a defender one. i am making up a binnacle that will have a higher top more like a S3 and wider to the left. i will have the tacho and the 3 ARB switches on the left of the speedo.

It is a bare instrument that can go into an appropriate hole in the dash, or fits into one of those dash top housings. I used a Smiths housing from the 1970's that had been gathering dust for twenty years in my shed.

Okay

Thanks C and B

Thinking of best way to fit one to the 86 Isuzu County.

I have one in the Stage One that is screwed on top of the binnacle out to the RHS.

Are mods to the alternator required to make one work?

The genuine Isuzu tachometer is not connected to the alternator. It works by counting revolutions of the injector pump camshaft.

slightly OT, but check out THIS (much less that $110!)
