rev counter from alternator W terminal

Post by **Kwinpenny** » 30 Mar 2010, 18:32

Hi all, just had my alternator refurbed (£55 from Autolec in Lowestoft - BARGAIN!)

So now thinking about attaching a rev counter from the W terminal and mounting it in the dash somewhere. The bus is a 1y 1.9D, anyone know whether any old rev counter from a breakers will do?

Cheers....Keith

BTW what did they refurbish in the alternator?

Hi,
they put in new bushes, new bearings, git blasted and refurbed the exterior, and put new contacts on it. Pre refurb it was doing squat, but it now pumps out the full ~14 v

Ok
I did my own
Brush pack £9.50
bearings £5.99
soaked the contacts in cillit bang

no sand blast though

Where is the coil situated on a diesel? Is this a new fangled invention?
