Gunson tachostrobe xenon timing light

Post by Tedwong »

Dear all,

Just bought an older type Gunson timing light(thought it will suit our older cars! ;) ).
However, it didn't come with its instruction, which I don't know how to use those fancy rpm controller.
Is there anyone here got a same gun which I can borrow(scan, email, post....) the full instruction?

Thank you so much!
Ted

I've also got one of these but have probably thrown the
instructions away... I'll have a look, though, and if I find
them, I'll let you know.

PS: Ted, was it you that bought my 997 Cooper cam off eBay
in June 2007?

Hi Ian,

Thank you so much for the link, I'll go and check it out.
It will be great if you can find your copy, I'll looking forward.
997 cam in 2007? Can't remember exactly, but I did buy a 997 cam before, and if it was post to Hong Kong, thats most probably was me, the only person in HK who will buy a 997 cam! :mrgreen:

Cheers
Ted

Sorry, Ted, I no longer have the instructions...

Post #10, The last paragraph looks to be quite helpful.

... and I haven't either...

PS:
And if you know someone called "Paul" who worked in London in 2007,
it was you who had my 997 cam. There was also a Cooper rear diff
housing and Ted was outbid by an eBay member called "251eng"...

It's a small world!

Hi Ian,

Thank you so much for your effort! I really appreciated!
And I've a look at the posts in Mini Forum, and will give it a try!

You really have superb memory for transaction ages ago! :lol:
I know 251eng as well, he is a member in this forum, and if it was Facebook here, he probably got tagged! :mrgreen:

Cheers
Ted
