Dear Dietmar,
The rev counter on my '77 was only working intermittently when I got it,
and I traced the problem (thanks to the Spitfire mailing list) to a
loose fuse connection.

My wiring notes are in the boot of my Spit, which is currently with my
friendly local mechanic. :-( Check out Tom O'Malley's website which
includes a fantastic wiring diagram for a '78 US-spec Spitfire 1550:
