Hi: I just bought a 1970 Mg Midget and I'm restoring it. I'm missing the tachometer and the switch located at the tachometer's left. Do you know what the tachometer part number is and which one is the switch located there? Maybe fog lights? Also, do you know where I can find them both (tach and switch)? The other question is: Is this car (1275 cc) a 3 or 4 speed car plus reverse? Thanks alot for you help!

I'm pretty sure the switch is the heater fan.
You should be able to find the switch at Moss Motors or (probably cheaper at) several of the forum sponsors, though I'm unsure as to whether you'll be able to find a tach new. Probably need to ask on the spridget forum regarding used ones.

Since you do not have a tach, be flexible. Your 1970 probably came with an 80mm RVI type Smiths tach. That type of tach will not work with electronic ignitions. You can instead fit a later RVC type tach that will look similar and will work with electronic ignitions. Though this may not sound important now, at some point you are likely to want to try one of the aftermarket electronic ignitions and having the RVC tach eliminates one thing to worry about.
