Is your rev counter a standard one?

Re: Modified my wheel arches
Yes and I know you can adjust it. I am going to get the rpm from a timing light and adjust the rev counter to match.
Cheers

Yep, I had to pull the off side wheel forward a bit with the two 27mm nuts on the radius arm rubber bushings, this will effect the castor though. You will need to take the bash guard off to adjust. You need an open ended 27mm spanner.
When my suspension is finally finished I will get a 4 wheel alignment. My bus drives straight on the steering wheel, but wants to go slightly left if I dont hold the wheel since I did the bushes. I am now paranoid that I have not replaced something properly.

I'd be interested to know how you solve this in the end, I'm having a similar issue
