Dwell/Tachometer.

[Tim]

Where is the nearest supplier to buy a new dwell/ tachometer in the midlands. I,ve tried all over Tullamore, no luck.

I know I could pick up one on ebay, but I,d like to get one sorted fairly quick. I

i have a multi meter with dwell on it in naas if you want to borrow it

 

[Tim]

Thanks very much for your offer darragh, but I need a new one myself anyway. I thought they were widely available in any decent motorfactors, but apparently not in the ones i tried.

thanks any way,

I think a good electrical meter (you know what I am talking about?) will have one built in

 

[darragh]

ring bradshaws in portlaoise i bet you a mint crisp they will have one
it will be a draper one if thats ok

I have the Draper one, has taken lots of abuse over the years and never let me down.

Check Argos, not sure if this one has tach/dwell hard to see from the pic.

what your after is an Automotive multimeter
even a superduper regular multimeter won't have TAC or Dwell

Careful though... I bought this exact one and it actually came in from China. I could have got it with free postage from China but I didn't want to wait... turns out I had to wait and when it arrived it didn't work... felt a bit fleeced and sent some stinking emails but no reply.... you've been warned! :wallbash:

On a side note , while I was looking for a multimeter, I came across this.

Cheap 12v heater defroster , in case you have crap heater at the front windscreen. It would be a simple task to route the heat through the vent pickups behind the dash on a beetle. Hey presto, instant defrost.
