You all probably all know this. When I installed a tacho into my VT 304 195i SS the car would turn over but NOT start. HMMMMMM I wondered, what cold be wrong?????? After few choice words and kicking the dog (just joking), it turned out the wire I attached to the signal wire was earthing out preventing the car from starting. I asked the engineer who modified my engine if this would harm the car in any way if I put a concealed switch in the signal wire to earth to act as a security / "bloody thing wont start, forgot the switch", switch. He said it shouldn't hurt it at all. What do you think? As I would like to get a 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th and so on opinion.
I have posted this on "The ultimate tacho thread" as well.
