Nisonger did an excellent job at a reasonable cost on mine

2323 has a Sun Tach
2259 has a modified layout with a Jones tach (know that isn't right)

It just seems strange to have the same SW gauges everywhere except the tach where there is a hodgepodge of Smiths, Sun and whatever else. My assumption would be that they all had a common tach then they were replaced as they failed by whatever was in the "parts bin".

Thanks,

Ron - from what I've read, regular drivers of particular cars had their own preferences for tachometers, so they had the original fit SW replaced with their favourite brand.

So look for a nicer one Ron, and sell me your old yellowed and dirty one... perfect for my build!

I have a 2 5/8 15 pound SW gauge. Not new, but never used. I would like to swap it out and install a Kirkham volt meter. Make me an offer I can't refuse!

last time I saw 2259 (Laguna Seca 2016) a modified SW tach was installed, same in CSX 2010
