So, I am getting down to some details on my 914 build and I am looking at gauge restoration. I called(straight to voicemail) and emailed North Hollywood but have not heard back yet. I am trying to get an idea of the cost of gauge restoration. No major issues with my gauges that I am aware of but would like them to look fresh as the whole rest of the car will be as well. I know this can vary a lot based on the condition issues etc. would anyone mind sharing their cost of gauge recommendation or even a ballpark number. Any recommendations other than Palo Alto and North Hollywood for this service?

Thinking it is the same outfit as the Samba. Both in VA. Good catch. I just got off the phone with Cory, I may go this route. He seems knowledgeable and a nice guy. Went through the progression of VW, 914, 911 like I am sure many here have in their car journey. Just for your reference - here was my bill from 2019 at north hollywood. All my gauges were in good shape but the car was new to me. I had the speedo recalibrated for the tires and the tach needle dampened so it doesn't bounce/swing so much. Plastic lenses replaced with glass. The clock was kept plastic due to the hole for the adjustment knob. Volt, temp and clock were just tested and found to be good to go and then visually spruced up. Not cheap but they look fantastic and work perfectly. Speedo is dead on and tach has a nice, non-bouncy look. Thanks so much for posting this is very helpful!!! |
