Sorry to confuse, but by ST200 tacho, I mean the Stack ST200 tacho. Looks like Demon Tweeks are the only ones to sell them, according to http://www.shopwiki.co.uk anyway.

Fitted the stack tacho and switch, and moved the Ford emblem down.

Tonights project is to wire it all up.

Finished the control box connector last night. Now its the two ECU connectors to complete, and she's good to go!

Is that 90 psi. in the beer can ? I know John Smiths can be gassy but thats ridiculous.


Seriously does that oil pressure gauge 'fail' to full scale deflection ?

Its a stepper motor driven guage therefore the guage 'freezes' when the power is removed.

The Zetec engine never produced that much PSI, so it was most likely sweeping round to FSD when I powered it on, then stopped when I powered it off again.

Those all look pretty neat Graham, but I always find it a good idea to have the gauges orientated so that when at normal working pressure/heat/max revs, all the needles are pointing in the same direction, so that the quick glance they might get will indicate something wrong if one is out of line.
