APT Instruments (www.gaugeguys.com) will pull your mechanical tach guts an
install the guts from a Smiths electric tach for roughly $200. It's not
cheap, but it looks right. I did this on my street car andit seems to work
okay.
If you want to do it yourself, I think the screws holding the tach face to
the guts are the same for the big TRs and other British cars that use
Smiths tachs, so in theory you can pop the needle off, remove the screws
from the face plate and switch the guts.
But gaugeguys are pretty good, IMHO. I had mine done maybe 5 years ago.
