Used tach, glass is new. Rust is not as bad as it looks. there is a ding in the rim. This one didn't go on ebay so here ya go. I do have more gauges if anyone needs anything. the price is shipped in the USA.
Thanks

Can the bezel just be unscrewed while it is in the dash? My tach's glass is cracked (otherwise it works fine) and I want to replace it, but I did not want to experiment with the unscrewing and end up with worse problems.

Thanks
Ari
 
It depends on the gauge. A couple I have have some SERIOUS sealant around the bezel and I haven't been able to get one off yet.But if it does unscrew it will just spin til it gets to a point the you can pull straight out.
 
The bezels can be unscrewed... but not really while they are in the dash as Ari asked. The goo that Chopshop mentioned is often very tenacious. When the gauge is out of the dash you can invert the gauge and use a tiny screwdriver to just BARELY lift the tabs on the back of the bezel, then use rubber pot-holders to grab the bezel and unscrew it. Once the bezel lock tabs are over the corresponding cut-outs in the case the bezel can be pulled forward and off the gauge.

Chopshop, I've been looking at that tach of yours for a while. I can't read the face and the picture link in your first post comes up as a TINY thumbnail that looks like you might be trying to show the back of the tach. Is this tach an RVI or RVC type? It will be written somewhere on the face. Also, is it positive or negative earth and what is the case diameter?
 
sorry doug. My experience is VERY limited here. AND that pic is bad.It is an RVI type. it is 3 inches in diameter and is a negative earth. Thanks for pointing all that out!
