Installing a tachometer
I have a 1.0L corsa b... I was wondering if a tachometer could be installed and if so how easy is it?
Thanks

Re: Installing a tachometer
Are you going for an aftermarket one or getting a set of factory clocks with tachometer?

Re: Installing a tachometer
The 1.0 should be just plug and play, I haven't seen a 1.0 that wasn't wired up for a rev counter yet, so find a 1.0 with a rev counter in a scrappy and just swap them
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Installing a tachometer
Like you may need a speed sensor and have to run and solder wires to behind the dash

The speed sensor goes to the gear box right?
