BJ42, HJ45-47 tachometer - LHD?

[Henry James the 47th]

I'm looking for a photo showing a dash from a later 40 series diesel engined truck, LHD, that has the factory tachometer. Has anyone seen a LHD diesel 40 series with this option?

I'm not sure, but i think the tacho was Australia spec only. I've bought one recently, but it's not here yet.
I assume that it'll get here in a week or two. I'll get some pics after i installed it.
Not much help yet, but i don't think your 47 is quite drivable either.

right hand drive models only. If you have seen one on a left hand drive, it was added after the fact.

Thanks Rick for the info - I wonder why Toyota made them only available for RHD?

I like the tach and to me it's a must-have in diesel truck, so I am looking to modify my LHD dash to accomodate it. I'm thinking it would fit well in the space where the brake/parking brake warning light combo is situated, and I could then move the brake/pkg. brake/sedimenter warning light trio from my truck and put it to the left of the steering column. Call it radical, call it non-stock, but I think it will fly!

Heres one in a HJ45 ,80 model I think.
