Volvo tacho

[Guest]

I am in the process of replacing the switchgear and other instrumentation on a Fox 700, AKA Cleopatra which has a VP 145B installed.

I am trying to find a suitable replacement for the tachometer which is looking rather worn, to say the least. I point blank refuse to cough up £300+ for one which has a 'Volvo Penta' transfer on it. Vetus do one but again, this is £300 but for a diesel.

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement at a resonable price? I would prefer an analogue unit.

PS For anyne who is upgrading/changing instruments, check out www.fireboy-xintex.com

A US outfit with some quality kit.

Why would you want to pay " £300+ " when the replacement tacho kit retails for less than £219.00 from any Volvo Penta dealer?

 

[Guest]

Yep, ASAP supplies in Beccles do the full range of Faria guages (fitted to Chris Craft etc)in lots of different colours and styles and they cost nothing, service is great I use them all the time in my business
