G'day
I am trying to recalibrate an electronic speedo ofter changing a gearbox. I saw your posting in October about a black box you bought for $120.00 from TISCO INSTRUMENTS.
Did it work?
Is there a model number or something?
I contacted TISCO and they quoted me "about $250 installed" but I am too far away for that.
Regards

Chris, it does work-I've done about 5k so far no problems. I got the speed & odommeter spot on. Real easy to install, there are only four wires-power, earth, speed signal in to the black box & speed signal out of the black box. Took a bit of nutting out which speed sensor wires to cut & solder in, but once this was done was piece of cake. Just sat black box on my leg & adjusted screw untill my speed was the same as the gps. I had about 40 km/hr range to play with. If yours is electronic this is the way to go as it is adjustable. Changing output shaft speed gears is time consuming, you may not be able to get the right ratio & hence speedo reading. Any auto sparky could fit it for you 1-1.5 hours-if that.
The black box is about the size of a pack of playing cards. On the sticker is says RATIO BOX APRA 1.00/D
I hope this helps-Carazy.
