    Gauge restoration?

    Does anyone have reccomendations for someone who is a master at rebuilding the stock VDO gauges? I want to overhaul them seeing as though the rest of my car has had TLC!

    Cheers

    Hollywood speedos do a great job. I had a green face tach overhauled by them. It arrived with white fluff inside and they paid for it to be returned and fixed with zero hassles. I liked that even though it wasn’t right to start with.

        The cost and time of sending them to the US can be pretty substantial. There are Australian companies that can do most things with VDO



        Specialist auto instrument installation, repairs & calibration. We provide a large range speedo calibration and gauge services, including for modern & vintage cars, bikes, boats & trucks.




        I had mine cleaned and refurbished by a group at Loganholme including number and needle painting

          Thanks Merv, I looked at Howard Instruments but some of the Google comments turned me off. and similarly with namiiss.com.au.. I'll check in with Humphrey and Gaugeworks today and see what they say.

                Ringwood Speedo in outer east Melbourne. Good on the VDO stuff. Don't think they have a website. Old school.

                  Howard's need the speedo for about 3 weeks just to repair the odometer in the speedo. Do you know what the turnaround is with Ringwood Speedo.

                    I ended up going with Matthew from Advanced Automotive Instrument Co! He's also been great to deal, extremely helpful and meticulous.

                      Good to see that you found an Australian gauge guy.
