thanks for the pics default. u said u used PVC piping to fix the tachometer in.is it strong enough? i mean for automotive rough conditions.iam also thinking abt the fixture that is strong enough.
More than strong enough. I started with a gutter drain to 4" pipe transition - that was something to take the rectangular profile of the downspout on a rain gutter to a round 4" pipe. The theory was that the electronics would go in the rectangular portion and the display in the round part.
In practice, I had too much water-proofing varnish over the wires and couldn't bend them enough to make it fit (there's 25 wires)
I ended up using a 45 degree elbow for 4" pipe instead. I had some trouble getting the ring of pipe that the display rests on down in there and cut it on a bias so it would compress enough. The display board is 4mm black anodized aluminum with holes for each led. I put epoxy in the back to seal and hold the LEDs against vibration.
There's a "temporary" 4 inch plug in one end of the 45 (temporary for plumbers only - designed to keep debris out of partially finished plumbing - very thin plastic)
For the display end I found a surplus dome shaped cover of thick poly carbonate. RTV silicone rubber holds it together and seals out the water.
First winter to come along and I had condensate on the inside of the dome. Pried it apart and put it in a warm oven to bake out the moisture then put the whole thing into a large metal can with dry desiccant overnight. The next morning I reassembled it with RTV silicone again and there hasn't been any condensate in it for ~ 5 years now.
