tjc transport Posted yesterday at 01:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:46 PM i am thinking dash unit is a tachograph with directional switchbox on top. i only saw one tachograph unit that was sealed like that one. all others were open side to slip the recorder disc into. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
