Hi John, thanks for that. I didn't know you could get them converted. I'll keep it in mind if all else fails. I'm not too bothered about the warning lights as I fitted a warning light cluster from a Doly. I also changed the speedo to a stag one with a Doly speedo cable to mate up to the LT77 5 speed gearbox, so there isn't any warning lights in either the speedo or the rev counter. I might look into getting a Spitty rev counter converted. I'm sure I've got one kicking about somewhere. Thanks for all your help, Steve

Hi. I like the sound of your project. You mentioned upgrading your brakes. Here's what I did to my GT6, and if you want to do this, you'll have to fit GT6/ Vitesse front vertical links, as Herald/ Spity front suspension is different. A lot of people fit the 4 pot callipers from the Ford Capri,(which make a fortune on ebay), but as a cheaper option, get some 4 pot callipers from a LDV van. They are pretty much the same item, and fit straight on. I picked up a pair of nearly new 4 pot callipers a few years back for around £60. I also fitted a bigger servo from a Rover P6. Anyway, whatever you decide to do, keep us all posted with project. Steve.

Hi all. I have a '73 GT6 which I have fitted a 2.5PI engine to. I now need an electric rev counter instead of cable driven original one. There are loads the older style rev counters on Ebay with the larger numbers, but I'm looking for the later style to match my speedo. Does any body have, or know where I can get a late spec 6 cylinder rev counter. The number on the face Should be RVC 2611/00F Later Stags and Spitfires have similar looking ones, but I need a 6 cylinder one from a late 2.5PI or 2500s. If you can help, please message me back. Regards, Steve.
