Wow Roger... that is seriously high tech!!

Wonder if there is any way to make that stepper motor tach take readings ev=
ery 0.5 seconds to make its action look like those ever so cool "chronometr=
ic" tachs used in '50s race cars.

The first, that I have ordered, is to cut the speedo. cable at a convenient=

They are building me a RVI instrument that will be near identical to the=20

trip.
This will have a modern digital stepper motor drive and hopefully be stable=

and accurate. High beam indicator as before. Easy, accurate calibration.
I have ordered this as MPH and so my plan, for driving in Canada will be to=

calibrate for 140 MPH as actually 140 kPH. This is easy to do and when in U=

will revert back to MPH. Only problem is that the total odo will be affecte=

may just use the trip to keep track or just stick with MPH.
Will report back after receipt.
=C2=A0
Second option is to use an electronic digital cable drive to drive the=20
original magnetic speedo with original odo. and trip, if preserving the ori=

realistically by Nov. time.

As I will still have my original speedo. so if not happy with the LCD above=

Subject: BJ8 Tacho Upgrade
=C2=A0

Seriously thinking of getting my moving coil tacho. upgraded to a modern=20
stepper motor type movement, retaining the original face and case.
Speedy Cables in Wales offer this.
So, wondering (UK listers ?) if anyone has had this done and any comments=
=20
about this type of conversion.
Are there perhaps any US companies that do this as well ?

There is another option to retain the car's original speedometer and using
a GPS driven motor that is just coming on market now:

<div>Seriously thinking of getting my moving coil tacho. upgraded to a mode=

stepper motor type movement, retaining the original face and case.</div>
<div>Speedy Cables in Wales offer this.</div>
<div>So, wondering (UK listers ?) if anyone has had this done and any comme=

about this type of conversion.</div>
<div>Are there perhaps any US companies that do this as well ?</div>

Rick and I have both been beta testing these units. My drives over the last
few days have shown it to accurate and I was able to calibrate it with my 5
speed and 185 tires. Still a bit if gear noise from the bix, to be fixed in
the next iteration. Hooks up to oem speedo.  Looks like a great solution.
Nfi. Just interested in seeing if it would work for me and it does. I do
get a free one for testing it. Full disclosure.
