What covers the mechanical Tach pick up?

Hi All,

I am using a sensor on my magneto for RPM. The mechanical pick up on the accessory case is not used. (IO360-A1B) What should cover that? Should I cap it with a fitting? If so, what kind?
Thanks for your help in advance,

Chris

Good recommendation by Wayne. Note that there are other tach covers on the market, but that one is the only one I've seen that has provisions for safety wire. Without that, tach covers have a tendency to work themselves loose and disappear in flight, so I've heard.

I'm pretty sure Avery tools has them too (at least that's where I got mine a few years ago).
