Im my Cooper S replica I got a 1275LS tacho which is redlined at 5500. What is the real redline of a Cooper S MK1. Is the MK2 any different?

People please list all the tacho redlines on various standard models including the 1100S if anyone knows, help me out.

Hmmm...
Well I seem to remember a Cooper S (Mk1 or 2) is good for 7000, 1100S 5500, Cooper 997 & 998 were 6500 approx.
Stocko 850-998-1098 engines had single valve springs that bounced at 5,500 or a little more.
BTW- none of these cars ever had a tacho fitted standard.
Only Clubman GT, Clubbie S, SS, LS got one. A not very accurate or well damped one, at that...

My cooper s (MK1) regually see 7,000 rpm in motorkhana's, does'nt seem to bother it too much.
