    Default revs tacho install?

    hey guys, I live in rosebud, VIC.
    Just wanting to know, to get a rev's tacho installed, where would I take my car?
    auto electrician? or elsewhere?
    Im hopeless with car wiring, unless its audio-wise...

    cheers

    You could just buy a Level 2 cluster which already has a tacho, they are a straight swap no wiring involved plus looks stock, can pick them up cheap off ebay.

    Oh wow! Smart thinking. ****, I could even go to the wreckers. I'd save a ****ing shit-load!

    But is there any problem that may occur? ie - odometer mis readings, speedo misreadings, fuel etc etc?

    oh really, and it'll defs go in a VN?
    The only MAJOR issue I face with this is - I will need to make the K's the exact same, as I have a warranty and if I change the k's it voids it...so i'll have to work out how to change them so they read the same as what it does now.

    Hey all::
    ERRIBLY SORRY FOR THE ABUSE. I HAD A MATE STAYING WHO WITHOUT PERMISSION WENT ON COMMODORE FORUMS AND LOGGED INTO MY ACCOUNT, AND WROTE THIS. I'VE ONLY JUST DISCOVERED IT. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND SORRY FOR MY ..."FRIENDS" BEHAVIOUR.
