you can replace JUST the tach. Very simple to do. Pull the instrument cluster. I forget the exact protocal, but it was fairly straightforward. I have a good working used tach i swapped out while doing a tiico conversion (i put in a 7K tach instead of the 6k wbx one :-) for sale. But why did the tach burn up?

The rest of the dash works fine. Can the tach be fixed individually or do I have to replace the entire dash wiring ribbon?? > > > 1985 Westy > |
