Wouldn't it be funny if someone had stuffed up back in the 60's, and mounted the tacho crooked....so everyone thinks it HAS TO be set like that for some reason.

Treeve's explanation makes much more sense.

It reminds me of a silly bit of Golf trivia.....

Currently, and since the late 1800's.... the size of a golf hole HAS to be 4.25 inches,
and so many people think that it's all part of the Grand plan in the frustrating game of golf.

Some sort of reasoning as to the relative size of the golf ball, and it is all about making the game more difficult, and that someone worked out the exact size of the holes to make the game "perfect".....

When in reality, 4.25 inches was the size of the hole cutter that they used when they wanted to make it standardized for all golf courses.
The first hole cutter was most likely made out of scrap pipe, which happened to be 4.25 inches....so that was adopted as the "right" size.

I'm going out to the Cobra to tilt my tacho.....see if it helps !! haha

Cheers,
Warren
