Stan:
Thanks, that sounds like a great idea and I have an email into APT. Not
worried about converting my tach as I have a couple of extras and an NOS one
as spares. Still would like to know if anyone has another electronic tach
that fits right in. I heard that a 60s Jag XKE electric tach looks similar
to an early TR6 tach and fits.

A common remedy for this is to have your mechanical tach converted to
electronic. Bob Lang sent out a pointer not too long ago:

existing tach to electrical. One >source for the conversion is

If you don't want to do that to your original, good used tach's pop up on
ebay quite regularly.
No issues with size or appearance if you go this route.

List:
I just installed a new 123ignition electronic distributor and so far so
good. It has switchable advance curves so you don't need to adjust weights
etc. Easy install and very easy to test and adjust settings. I will need
to switch my tach to an electronic version and wondered if anyone had a
brand/part number that they know fits in the TR6 dash? It doesn't have to
look British but it would look cooler if it did.
Thanks in advance,
