But why would you want two?

[chrissaxovts]

[chrissaxovts]

so does any 1 know how to fit a rev count and what wires to put it to and it it behind the dash all in the engine were the wires go to thanks rep given

[nathan0711]

to do this you need to wire in the second rev counter to the currently installed wiring that the current rev counter is using

[chrissaxovts]

ye but were do i find that wire behind the clocks all in the engine

[nathan0711]

there should be wires going into the back of the rev counter clocks, follow these wires to where they go into the engine bay, in the engine bay they should be linked to a sensor. it is here on the sensor end where you want to wire the second revcounter in.

[Agent_Orange]

Not massively into Electronics, but could that not half the signal coming from the sensor and they would both read half the true amount? Or could they together draw too much current through the sensor and pop it??

[nathan0711]

you may need to wire in a transponder unit to the existing sensor for the revcounter this would double the signal produced, or so im told. lol
by the way im just wondering, why are you wiring in another rev counter when you already have one?

[chrissaxovts]

i have got my second rev count wired up now tuck me about 15 mins, find the wire behind the clocks, looks mint. only wired it up cause i had it liying around so thort i would see what it would like. its looks good
