The decal to make a 7000 Rpm tach looks very nice, but there is another way.
The numerals and markings on the MkI and MkIA Tigers match the markings, etc.
on the Series IV Alpine, which uses a 7000 Rpm tach.  You can just swap the
face on your Tiger tach for the Series IV Alpine tach face and have the same
thing, pretty nearly, as the decal.  Of course, in either case, you will 
have to
recalibrate the tach.  The down side of the face swap is that the Alpine tach
face says 4 Cyl, positive earth.  Otherwise you could swap the entire tach.
Even then you could make it work by swapping the input leads to the tach.
Probably anyone riding in the car will not notice because they will most likely
be of an age which makes it hard to read such small lettering.
