Tank and tacho ID

#1 PostAuthor: Redbeard » Sun May 20, 2012 7:57 pm

I won a tank on ebay that was listed as a Mark 2 tank. Can anyone confirm this or otherwise please, I don't know if the square tanks are the same (H/J/GPZ/etc - I know the ST tank is different). Only wondering because of the paintwork. Also the kind gent threw in the tail piece (definately mk2), clock covers and a tacho (see below). Any ideas which model the tacho is from? Many thanks.
