Hi All
My Special has an excellent Willie McKenzie rev counter and a home made rad cap thermometer. Both gauges I’ve come to rely on. So in using the Green C Cab van I feel a little lost, turning my hearing aids off doesn’t help judge engine revs nor the bubbling of a boiling radiator!
So I thought I’d install a couple of supplementary gauges.

I have a step up transformer to lift the 6 to 12 volts so fitting the rev counter was a relatively easy wiring job. It was just £14 from Amazon (Mintice 2” Tachometer gauge).
Fortunately the van came to me with a stub on the radiator header tank that was closed off with a 5/8 UNF bolt, the same thread as the gauge sensor. So the temperature gauge (£17.75) was also an easy fit.

Both seem to be working well although as it is pouring with rain at the moment I’ve only tested them in the garage.
Cheers
