SV Tachometer Induction Coil Fix

[Alpine James]

Hi All,

Just about finished rewiring my SV after too many years. It appears that the induction coil piece for the tachometer has gone missing. Does anyone know of an easy fix for this?
It doesn't seem that this part is readily available for purchase.

Thanks, James

James, Understand that you only need the steel U clip that fits on the outside. You don't really need the plastic piece that the wire originally looped thru. You can make one from a piece of STEEL approx. 0.020" thick. If you make it from galvanized steel you'll need to sand or file off the zinc coating from the tips that mate with the tips protruding out from inside the tach. Or you can salvage one from the inside an old tach. There is an identical mating half inside the tach that has the coil wound around it. Take out that coil assembly, disassemble it, and use the steel core inside as the mating piece on your good tach.
