Simon -
The instrument itself is a self contained unit within the casing, so
you can remove the cover without having it all come apart... it is one
piece inside.
That being said, taking the cover off won't make it any easier for you
to get the cable out. Besides, if the thing has snapped off in the
end... it could indicate a problem with the tach anyway. I would have
your tach rebuilt by a specialist... can't hurt. I would send it to
MoMa in New Mexico... with the pound where it is today, sending it to
the US should save you a few quid for sure. Margaret Lucas is first
rate.
Cheers,
