Looking for a source for VDO gauge part.
Looking for the cup or hat type red, green, amber diffusers. Tried Helier and Palo Alto. Thanks for any response. |

I do have the plastic sheet that could be used. I tried it and wasn't too satisfied with the look.
The key is mass quantities. I to can cast in small quantities, but as you may have noted the unit cost can add up. May be worth doing a Group buy on a "set". To do this Id be looking at 200 sets at $5-6 a set. That wouldn't even cover tooling but Id be game if there was even close to that much interest. Mark |

For the fuel-temp gauge combo. looking at red, green, amber. I think there is a need for it. The gauge soroses will not supply them. Thanks again Jim |
