I've got a black-faced 0-8K Stack ST400 that I'm going to stick up for sale soon. Could be yours.

Spikey - I have an 100mm one with peak recall that is brand new and un-used if you're interested?

Carbon fibre effect back with white letterering and orange needle. has a shift light feature too and the peak recall.

Only problem for you is it can read upto 11000 rpm

Cost me £60 ages ago, could be yours for £37 with special delivery

The limit can be set to whatever you want - it just reads upto 11000 rpm should you so desire

Can be set from 1 to 8 cylinders via the switch on the back

Depends on your definition of expensive. One finished on ebay yesterday for £194 delivered, so mine for £150 delivered is cheap(ish).

i use an etb one, that goes upto 8k, i rev my engine to 8k and it seems to have broke the rev counter, it over reads now, so i dont think they like being revved right to the stop if tht makes sense, im going to buy a elliot one as i need it to rev to about 9.5k
