this is an old thread that i posted a long time ago but could not find the original thread so i started a new one, now a while ago i bought this thach because i am making a dash and needed a new one anyway, i opened the thing and have miss placed everything but the tacho, question is does anyone know the wiring to these things or even better has the wiring left over, heres a pic of the back

That's a different model to mine but I would guess the S is the one that goes to the Sender (-ve coil). Did all 4 wires come with it? Mine came with a diode they recommend connecting between the coil and gauge if you have points ignition. Here's the original thread - http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23340&highlight=speco |

Green wire connects to “S” terminal and to negative side of coil. If there is an aftermarket tacho pick up wire, connect to this wire instead of negative side of coil. Black wire to “G” terminal and to earth. Red wire to “I” terminal and to ignition switch. White wire connects to the thick black wire from lighting globe assembly and then to dash lights. Regards, Bob Forrest Speco Thomas" |

Repco and Autobarn sell these. I would have throught the wiring would be as normal as all aftermarket tachos? Green: Neg Coil. Red: 12v Acc. Black: GND. White: Lighting |

i bought them from reckless motor sport on ebay, he is the cheapest i found and i reckon the reason why you only see the 150 dolllar pro series and the normall you have to ask for is to trap the riceneers 
all up, i got thacho, water temp, oil temp, fuel level, amps, all up was around 200, with p&h |

I had a look at the eBay store. Its great, his prices are awesome. I was thinking about getting a Smiths tacho (I know there not real good but I was after the classic look to match in) but I will be buying one from Reckless Motor Sport at that price! |

so to sum it up the white wirw goes onto the outside of the fuse for the lights, then you gage light is protected, or the llight switch on the side that goes to the lights not the incoming positiive? thats ho wid do it |
