Chronometric tach

Hi Whitworth Heads,
I love my TC's tach so much that I'm interested in finding a chronometric
tach drive I could adapt to the housing in one of my '58 Alfas. Do any of
you know of someone who makes such tach drive mechanisms today? For general
interest, what is the reduction ratio of the TC's tach drive gear box and
are replacements chronometric mechanisms for the MG tach available anywhere?
Cheers, Peter

TA's, SA's are 2.66/1.........Xpag's 2.25/1........John Marks is scratching
for old units just for the parts. No new ones being made. If you love these
archaic machines, then you need a copy of Carl Cederstrands book on
them........

Peter:
I think that you can still get chronometric tachs from the competition parts
suppliers.

Mark

Czech out magazines that cater to British motorbikes, there are several
listings of people who repair, supply parts, and even complete units.
Ron, who is just about done with the "VDO chrono tach project."

Peter Smiths made a 4 inch competition chronometric tach which had a "tell tale" these came in different RPMs, I have found them at flea markets, those who know what they are get a lot of money for them.
