Does anyone know if the T140V can be run without the tacho gearbox as I am running my Triton without clocks and would like to remove the ugly tacho gearbox :D
 
Cheers Eddie got it off and plug made I assume the drive on the end of the exhaust cam should stay on??
 
The "drive end of the exhaust cam" should be part of the cam itself, so yes, that stays put. Just make sure you've taken all tacho drive box bits out of there.
 
I recall the sleeve nut which holds the gearbox and provides the bearing for the worm drive has a left hand thread - not sure if it's UNC?

Any ideas?
 
Yeah it is left hand thread don't know which type but heath robinson bung made :D will eventually fit a proper blanking plug if one is available :wink:

Not as I recall, the end of the cam is slotted, and a 'thimble' sits in the slot and acts do drive the tacho drive gear. Although different years may be different...
 
Gotchya. Definitely a different set up to what I've seen.

I'd guess that when the factory used bungs (on the late Thunderbird, etc, that didn't have tachos), then they'd surely leave out that screw in part?

So I'd just check carefully for clearance when you use that bung.
