have now managed to get the rev counter working

going to get the speedo drive now so hope fully it will just mean running the wires from that up to the clocks , will let you guys know if it all works out

only other question i have is re the speedo itself , my old one started @10mph and the new one starts @ 0mph , does this matter ?

If you have the speedo drive from the Tigra, and the Tigra clocks, the speed on the clocks will be correct (give or take the inaccuracy, of course) won't it?

If yours start at 10 that means they're cable drive. The zero ones are electronic. Did you not have nowhere to connect your speedo cable when you fitted the new clocks?

You can get a sender for the gearbox and do away with the cable, yes. It will correctly if you do this.
