I was helping my parents clear out in prep for moving to retirement village. My father being a British migrant electronics nut who had done Nasho in the RAF (Boscombe Down) happened to have some old dials.
One caught my eye and is now in my possession: a rev counter from a Handley Page Victor bomber from the late 1940s ... retired in 1993 (now that's longevity).
It's a cool looking old dial. It has single positive and negative screw inputs on the rear.
Can I use them on my K100 bitsa bike? Am thinking of using a thick flat piece of aluminium sheet for speedo and revs.
My father was saying that they are very sensitive and that I would probably blow it with too much input.
Q: what is the input value / voltage for the rev counter?
Q2: What wires must be attached for the bike to start? I previous tried to start the bike without the speedo etc attached... now go... but obviously not everything is needed.
Thanks for any help
