Fitting TinyTach Tacho to 80 Series diesel

Hi Norbrat i have a little of information about the tinytach
please email me on fordfalcon69@hotmail.com

I've got one fitted to my humvee, works a treat. I also found the Oz distributors to be less than helpful and about 2 1/2 times the price including shipping.
The yanks did take a while to respond to email but they shipped it pronto and I actually had the tach before I'd paid for it.
Mine cost $au98 delivered to my door in 5 days.
I'd reckon you could put a sleeve on the fuel line so the transducer clamped correctly.
Even something like a piece of copper pipe would work ok I'd reckon.
I've got mine hooked up to 12v but it will work on a 9v smoke alarm battery.
the only drawback is that it isn't backlit for night use but It should be possible to mount it in the instrument panel so that the dash lights illuminate it. I just got a red led and stuck it in front of mine to light up the display.
It keeps track of revs in single rpm's, two service periods, total running hours and the max rpm reached, the latter was very interesting as I'd never of thought the V8 in the Humvee would pull 3500 rpm, must have missed a gear ;-))
Any questions on the unit ask away.

My Tiny tach transducer for 1/4" lines wasn't what I would call an exact fit on the line.
the two halves of the transducer ended up about 2-3mm apart even though the two little bolts were done up tight. So they were only a segment rather than a full circle contact on the line, almost as if they were the wrong size. But hey it works well.
