A lot of the new tachs are able to work happily from an inductive pickup
clipped to or wrapped around the HT cables, I have one that is so sensitive
you dont even need
the pickup touching the HT lead, if it is one of a simmilar sensitivity you
may find it works
ok if you just heat shrink or tape the pickup parallel to the one you have
already
have. other than that i cant see a reason not to splice it in.

Ours was done some while ago (Grand Rapids). I didnt wire the panel myself
but as far as I know there is no special arrangement. The GR installation
manual makes no reference to the need for diodes etc.
One small isue is that our Rotax analogue gauge under reads by about 300 RPM
but this may just be the meter. I believe there is an adjusting screw in the
back but we never bothered to change it. One of those little jobs that never
seems to get done.
