I think we're talking about different pictures. Jack Sears standing next to #99, and that's John Whitmore (GT40 legend) standing on the other side....?

Those tachs are fairly common on eBay. May need a sender, though I'm unsure about that.

The original Sun did use a sender, and they used a mercury battery. If memory serves me right they were 2.3 volts. I found an NOS tach at an antique mall, and bought a sender off of eBay. For grins I tried a normal AA battery, which is 2.5 volts? I dont remember the Co's name off the top of my head but they can covert them over to solid state. |

The "SUN" tach is currently being reproduced, without the need of a sender. Sun also made another tach with the same appearance that did not require a separate sending unit or batteries....
An NOS unit....

Allen ... Your car is amazing, very thoughtful series of enhancements you have done.
Pete ... Great idea for a thread, really like the 289s and especially the FIA and your scratch build is awesome.
Lots of cool Cobras here
I like 'em all ...

I don't know as I haven't cleaned them yet. I have only test driven the car. I drove it yesterday after I took the photos. Bryans Racing did a great job on the up fitting of the driveline. This little 260 rocks.

FYI, the vintage photo posted with Dan Gurney and other Cobra team members around the car is of 2259, the first of the 289 FIA Cobras.
