TVR Chimera Gauges in a Kit Car

[mikea4tdi]

I'm looking for a nice set of gauges for my kit car. TVE one appear on ebay frequently (Chimera ones seem nice)
Does anyone know what problems I'll face trying to put a set in a Westfield type kit.
I have to sort out an electronic speed from the prop for the speedo.
Can the speedo be recalibrated?
For the tacho will it cause a prob going from 8 cycl to a 4 cycl?

Thanks

Mike

Caerbont did a lot of TVR clocks and will supply direct in a wide variety of styles, so you might be able to get the looks you want without the hassles if they can spec straight for your application. They don't seem too expensive (nor are they the best quality although mine have been reliable enough)
