My 63 wagon has an aftermarket Smiths tacho mounted to the dash. It was scavenged from a 142 deluxe and it looks the part and works OK - BUT - the mounting doesn't work all that well. It needs to be tilted as far upwards as it goes and is inclined to slump at times.

What I would love to do is fit a mounting leg as was fitted on 123GT tachs. I know that these are rare as hens teeth, so I want to do the next best thing - make one from scratch. I plan to make it in ABS plastic using a 3D printer that I have just finished making (if you are interested, google Prusa Mendel i2). What I lack is a prototype to model it on. The ideal would be if anyone out there has a 123GT tacho that is not fitted to a car AND who has contacts at a local engineering school that has a 3D scanner. If someone can tick both of these boxes and send me a scanned 3D model that I can successfully print, I could supply some 3D printed tacho feet in return.

Failing that, if anyone can supply some close up photos - side-on, front-on etc - and supply some key dimensions, I could model something that looks right (even if it isn't exactly the same).

Of course if anyone has a 123GT tacho leg for sale, I'd be interested in that instead.
