I have a SV tach in my SII.

I personally dont think it looks good, and doesnt have all the correct lighting holes.

There was a person on the list that had made an extender shaft that could allow the early distributor and tach drive to be used on the 1725 engine.

The actually part seems very straightforeward, a rod, with a male and female tangential cut keyway. The rod had a minor diameter that was used to retain the rod, and to keep it all from wobbling.

I really would like the drawing, still out there?
