Would one of those large tacho's that the young fella's fit to their pillars work. I havent seen one, (on a 40) but it looks like it would fit.
You can get a HOT one from Cashies,etc. for about $120. Maybe it wpould affect RW. Dunno.

The factory only ever made one of those tacho's, but everyone has owned it, and every Cashies has sold it.
