    I just found out that my Tacho (Yellow Needle HZ) was supplying 12 Volts to the negative side of my coil. OUCH!!!

    Found it too late when the Bosch HEC718 cacked out.

    Does anyone know of a good instrument repair place that I can post to?

    Umm, the Tamworth instrument place was the closest place to me outside of Sydney.. I wouldn't recommend them though, they were soooo slow and the prices were verry high with little warranty on them :(

    I have fixed most of the guages now.. It turned out being just some corrosion on the fuse box clips where the fuse goes.. Cleaned that up and it worked! :D
    The tacho is functioning, speedo is hooked up, temp and voltmeter guages are working.. Fuel is getting a little response, but not sure if it is working properly..
    Now the Oil pressure sender is a faulty one :(
    Cheers,
    Matt

    Was talking to a company in Adelaide some time ago called Gauge Works on Port Rd, Albert Park. (08) 8445 6644. Was discussing repairs and some of the quoted costs sounded very reasonable to me. may be worth a call.
