1968 The Mini Tach is Back

[p51]

Just FYI for those who might be interested...

Looks like someone is once again making a mini tach for the clock opening on the instrument panel...

I haven't seen one of these for ~6yrs+ - since the guy in Oz stopped making the retrogauge mini tach.

I've dealt with 'Rocketman' and he's easy to deal with and helpful. He converted an ammeter to a voltmeter for me (much better than the Ford marginal ammeter).

Got one a few years ago. It's small but it works.

This one isn't small, but it's also a lot more expensive. Over $700 for it and a new fuel gauge.

Neil, thanks for the comment about the amp -> volt meter conversion. I've been wanting to add a voltmeter. I went back to rocketman's website and this looks like the better way to go rather than adding another gauge. Very reasonable price and retains the stock look. I especially like the Cougar version that has the meter marked off in volts.

Which conversion did you do (Cougar or Stang)?
Did you ever check to see how accurate the gauge is?

Thanks
James

NPD has the small one listed in their catalog. Are they out of stock?

Here's a link to my installation of the Rocketman amp to voltmeter conversion. If I still had my car :sad: I'd be installing his tach. He does good work.

Bob aka Rocketman, has been a Cougar guy for years. The Cougar line of parts is where he got his start.
It was my suggestion that he fill the void for the the mini tachometer for 1967-68 Mustangs. Bob was unaware that the fellow from down-under, had stopped supplying the Mustang mini tachometers.
