ABS K43120 Tacho Shaft

The ABS K43120 Tacho Shaft is a high‑performance, OEM‑grade speedometer cable designed to deliver precise and reliable signal transmission for automotive tachometers. It is engineered with advanced materials and construction techniques that ensure durability, flexibility, and consistent performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Features

• High‑Quality Construction: Made from premium flexible cable material that resists abrasion, heat, and vibration. The core is insulated with high‑temperature resistant varnish to maintain signal integrity.
• Exact Gauge Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Renault 19 series (including 1.7L, 1.9L, 1.4L, 1.8L, and 1.2L engines) as well as other models that require a 1220 mm tachometer shaft.
• Robust Shielding: Encased in a multi‑layer shield to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clear signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments.
• Flexible Design: The cable’s flexible core allows it to bend around tight engine bay corners without compromising performance, making installation straightforward for both front and rear mounting positions.
• Long Life Span: Engineered to withstand the rigors of automotive use, providing a lifespan that matches or exceeds OEM expectations.

Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

The ABS K43120 Tacho Shaft is engineered for straightforward installation. The cable’s flexible core allows it to be routed through the engine bay without excessive tension or kinking. Typical steps include:

1. Remove Existing Cable: Carefully detach the old tachometer cable from both the speedometer unit and the engine mounting point.
2. Prepare the New Cable: Inspect for any visible damage; ensure that the shielding is intact.
3. Route the Cable: Guide the new cable along the same path as the original, securing it with zip ties or clamps to prevent movement.
4. Connect Terminals: Attach the cable ends to the tachometer unit and the engine mounting point using the supplied connectors or compatible terminals.
5. Test Functionality: Verify that the speedometer displays accurate readings across the full range of vehicle speeds.

Performance Benefits

• Accurate Speed Readings: The cable’s low resistance and high shielding reduce signal loss, ensuring that the tachometer reflects true engine speed.
• Reduced Maintenance: Its durable construction minimizes wear, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Enhanced Reliability: Designed to operate reliably in harsh automotive environments, including exposure to oil, coolant, and high temperatures.
