Modification to the Chrono pack

Does anyone know how easy or hard it would be to switch the speedo and tach around on the chrono pack?

What would it entail?

Has anyone done it?

From what I saw in another thread they are not interchangable because they are one big printed circuit card.

Correct.



I don't see it happening... ever.... even if you wanted to cut the board - twice- and wire across all the traces, there are components across the areas where you'd have to cut it to fit in the case the other way...

Thanks -- that's a shame. I really prefer the tach on the right were it is not partially blocked by my left hand on the steering wheel as I shift with the right.

Turn the unit upside down and then order custom gauge faces with "upside down" numbering. You might have to get creative with mounting.

May be easier to just convert it into a RHD -- shift with the left then.

I suspect that's true, sadly enough.
