Yeh... I admitted that I was incorrect in expecting that all of the pieces would be included. I should have asked for better pictures.
The thing that set me off is that this guy responded to my very first inquiry by cursing and belittleing me. Then tried to take the moral high road when I responded to his insolence. From then on, he refused to address ANY of my concerns without insulting me. At one point in time, when I not only told him that I accepted the responsibility of not asking for better pics, then explained what I felt about the situation, he said... and I quote... "Your entire response is rubbish".
When I asked him to explain his comment, he refused to.
But in the interest of truth... you guys that have stated that the outer sleeve and trim ring are not part of the tach... well... I believe you are wrong. It is part of OEM part number #25016-014. If anyone can provide the SEPARATE part numbers for the 1). outer sleeve and 2) the rubber trim ring, I would love to see it.
Again, when I have tried to point this out, he refused to hear it and called my comments "rubbish".
The OEM tach not only came with these 2 missing parts, but also the wiring harness. But again... this is "rubbish".
Thanks you R.B... you really know your stuff and know what a new tach comes with!! Not unpopular to me since you arent quoting opinion but truth... And you are right. I should have asked for pictures that showed all of the pieces. I guess I should have asked if the nuts and washers were there as well. And if it actually worked. And if anything had been modified. Maybe I should have asked for xrays??Here are two links to OEM tachs sold on ebay as complete tachs:
