Default Tach Drive Cover
What's good to use for a Tach drive cover? On my IO-360-M1, I'm using a mag p-lead pick-up for the tach drive so I need to cover the engine tach drive. What's used for this?

Thanks,

Jim

Whatever you use will just be a "dust" cover. There is an internal seal so you won't be leaking oil.

Just happened to have my new Avery catalog sitting next to the computer. Thanks for the tip! Sound like a good excuse to order some other stuff at the same time.
