First check if it fits in the dash ok & then if the other end thread is the same to attach to the drive. Also check & see if the drive is the same RPMs on both by turning the main engine over one turn & see if the cable drives are say 1/2 RPMs or whatever they,re geared at.It seems older engine drives were half engine speed if I recall but not sure anymore on one of them. Also make sure the drive cable is long enough unless the original can be used.
Neil,

A 627 with a working tachometer? You must really spoil your operators, Ive been running the B models for 14 years and have only seen 1 that worked!
We need proof they exist!LOL!

Hi Alan
I bought this machine last year and am looking for a second one for some work that we have coming up. We are getting the machine ready for this work and as I will be driving it I wanted it in as good a condition as possible.
Somehow I knew someone like you would come on the board with those remarks!!!!!! Do you know why the tachos never work? Because the price of a new one is £568 which I suppose is $1000, what a rip-off.
