(T) Rev gauge (clockwise or anti-clockwise)

gserghiou · 06-05-2006

Hi All,

I have read somewhere before, but i cannot find it anywhere now.

I have read that the rev counter needle was moving clockwise on some models and then anticlockwise ....

What is the difference between the two (is it year of manufacture , country sold ) ???

Please can u help with insignificant but important question.

?

Thanks,

George

Hi, I had a 1980 X/1 9 1500 and the rev counter went anticlockwise in the opposite direction to the speedo) thought they were all like that! Did Escort XR3i's do the same?:

It's my understanding that only the 1300s and the very early 1500 had clockwise rotating tachometers, the rest of the production run had anti-clockwise tach's. The tach rotation direction was changed because the raised and offset seating-position in the 1500 (due to thicker padded seats?) made it impossible to see the 4K to 7.5K rpm range.

my '79 1500 5spd, manufacture date DEC 1978 had the clock wise tach, but i removed the gauge cluster and added one from a '81, that runs counter clock. if your looking for a clock -wise tach let me know and we can figure out somthing.(note this is the "late"clock-wise tach. the early style were silver/blk and looked "buck rogers"-ish. the one i have looks like a normal "fiat" x1/9, not the bertone style.
