Maybe Oliver knows something about them. If the seller has been playing around with Minors for 30 years, I have probably heard of him

The vendor says he copied an original revcounter and digitally enhanced it. I thought that was a clever way to do it but then noticed that his picture has the same design defect that I had made when I tried to get a facia made for my tacho. I was wondering if he might be....ahem...copying the design that I posted up on here in a previous thread.
Nothing illegal if this is what he has done and I have no complaint other than that it would've been nice to have credited the man (Gryf Ketcherside) who put in all the effort to digitise the revcounter dial face.
PS. That facia will only work on a Crypton model revcounter since the spacing is completely wrong for Smiths revcounters.[frame]

Did you have the instrument panel with the two large holes? I was wondering if it would be possible to modify a LHD glove box lid by cutting an extra hole, then you would need to find space for the fuel and oil gauges. A photo of an early Series2 with a speedo and four small gauges on the inst panel.[frame]

He says that he has only ever SEEN one original rev counter, so i guess that would be the one i posted pictures of on here some time back maybe?
