Replacing clock with tachometer

I have sourced a tachometer to replace my clock. There doesn't appear to be any pre-wiring, hence looks like I'll need to source a connector  (to connect into tachometer) and then wire it up to coil.

Anyone know where I can source the female three plug connector?

Do you have a picture of the back of the tacho, and the brand and model number?

Thanks for the reply Rumb.

I managed to find the right female connector and made a cable, just need to connect it up now,

The tachometer signal comes from the ignition box, there's a double terminal block nearby that should have one terminal spare. You'll just need to run a wire from here.
