Maybe you could get a motorbike one? Do bikes have tachos?

There are a few tachs out there for 3cyl's. I also have a 3 cyl in my car. I'm using the inner workings of the tach that came in the car from which I got the engine and putting them inside a custom Lucas housing. This way I will have a matching guage that is also accurate. I'm doing the same thing with the speedo. It's a bit of work, but it will be cool when it's done.

hey mate you can use any after market tacho on a 3 cyl car. you just have to hook a resistor in line between the coil sense wire and the tacho. then switch the tacho to 6 cyl setting.

Most (modern) motorcycles have tacho's. The one on the YZF 750 SP I had went to 13,000!
