Hey guys, i was pottering around my girlfriends dads shed when to my excitement i came across a smiths tacho in awesome condition. Only thing is i dont know if i can use it on my mini. Firstly it only goes up to 40 x 100. On the face the other writing says RPM, x 100, 2-1, SMITHS, made in UK, RVP 1002/04, 24V. And on the back it has a sticker for the various wire plugs and they say "NEG V", "GEN X", "POS & GEN Z"
So can i use it or if not is it worth anything to anyone??
Ive inlcuded pics of it below
thanks
trent

Not suitable for a Mini.

24v = 24 volts = truck
4000rpm = truck
gex x and gen z would be how they pick up the impulse from the diesel engine (no ignition system) they pick up from the generator or alternator.

it is a tach for a disel prolly a perkins being pommie you will note it is 24v ....
wow another one that i have gotten correct
i'm going to be selling all my smiths gauges soonishly
including 10,000 rpm tach amps oil pressure vacume gauge and a few others
