Title: Part Needed
Post by: KFDarrin#164 on September 22, 2014, 11:19:42 AM

Anyone have a good source for a Tach cable for the Darrin?  I assume it is interchangable with HJ?

Guess that answers that! :o   Is there an exchange for any other KF model for this?  Not a show stopper but will install if it can be found.

I believe the Darrin was the only KF product that had a tachometer.

The cable and casing have unique part numbers, meaning they are not parts borrowed from another Kaiser. I recall breaking the cable on my car and found a suitable replacement at NAPA. They sell a universal cable that can be cut to length. The correct square end can then be attached. Of course, a cable won't be of much help if you need the casing as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have measurements as I no longer own my Darrin (much to my chagrin). Perhaps someone else with one could measure theirs...it might be possible to adapt another to work.
