Is there, or was there, an 8000 rpm Jaeger tachometer ever produced in the 4 inch alpine or tiger style gauge??? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanx,
Jeff

The works rally cars used one, and some period racers in the USA.

There were a few made at some point that use the MKI style gauge font and go to 8000rpm.

Pual Bruehan makes some replacement faces for sunbeam gauges that scale to 7 and 8000.. he also sells them on ebay sometimes and makes sunbeam style faces to fit modern autometer tachs.

this is one of the autometer ones he does:

Thank YOU for your response Michael.So, I would ask, if one wanted to assemble an autometer tach themselves is there a source for the 8k face?

the source is Paul, he can sometimes supplies the face only, but think he mostly went to supplying whole setups instead of filling out haphazard orders.

his user ID on ebay is daddytiger64 maybe PM him though ebay and ask if he is prepared to make a face for you.
