Hi Edward,
No the tacho drive is not driven by the injection pump. The cable goes through the fire wall in the vicinity of the injection pump, then over the pump to the front LH side of the engine, next to the nr 1 spark plug. Follow the black cable.

I gave you PN in the other post: A 113 542 07 07.

Yes, 1300mm looks correct. Perhaps check out Authentic Classic or Bud's Benz - you will be buying more parts...

Yeah, I started two threads for items I thought were far different from each other. I am all good now.
Should I delete one of the two for forum simplicity?

Be aware ( for current and all future post readers) that tacho and speedo cables are different for RHD and LHD.
