MGB Tacho (Rev counter)

I have a 1968 BGT which is currently fitted with the original RVI tacho.

Can anyone please advise on ...

Guys & gals - I live in the south-west Birmingham area, near Bromsgrove, and have recently become the owner of a 1968 BGT which requires some TLC. The mechanical components are good but the bodywork is tired, and the underside may require some attention. The interior needs retrimming but I hope ...
