I need some help real urgently. I don't know how to find anything on this
internet. I've spent a couple of hours at 14,400 looking for some metric
fittings for the Czech engine I've got and can't even get hooked up right.
It's very frustrating! If you can, would you please see if you can find
the following;

A tachometer cable assembly with a metric cap type female fitting on one
end and a smooth male plug type on the other. The plug type end is .633"
which is probably 25mm in diameter. It fits into a hole .8" deep (32mm)
and it is retained by a cross bolt running over the top of the plug in a
recess spaced .4" (16mm) from the bottom of the hole. The whole assembly
has to be 72" long. The other end looks like a regular tach cable end and
is 18 x 1.5 mm

The other things I need are the oil pressure gauge fittings which are 12 x
1.5 mm and appear to use a regular tube/ferrule type connection. I prefer
a flexible hose for each end of the line. If I can just get the fittings
for the extreme ends I can make something out of US standard for the
inside. If you can find anything I'll owe you several cold ones. If I
can't do anything else I'll die and tap some stock and weld US fittings on
one end for the oil line. I think I could make an adapter for the tach
cable but that would take more time than I have. I looked for an electric
tach but the only ones available run up to 8 to 10 grand on the scale and
the engine only turns 2600.
