Pretty sure they are all from the same manufacturer. As far as I have heard they are OK.

I bought the one that auto Atlanta is offering for $49 installed just fine but unfortunately it broke less than 300 miles I have sent it back and they're sending me a replacement |

The label should state the country of origin. VDO is the original supplier and they are $167 at Pelican. Attached thumbnail(s)

We love them, and never had one fail. They are made in India by a internationally known instrument manufacturer. We will see what the previously stated drive looks like QUOTE(Leebob @ Jul 5 2020, 07:16 PM) Has anyone ever use the reproduction angle gear for the speedo from Auto Atlanta or other suppliers how good they are and how long do they last |

That's about a 1 1/2 month of a couple hour per day commute. Not very impressive life time test... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Well, really depends on the RPM. If you were spinning at a rate equivalent to say 60 mph, that's still less than 6,000 miles.
