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?

@Superhawk996 - just do it yourself.
Use a Bosch / SunPro tach core, I'll PM you so we can discuss the adapter plate. Tony - Retrorace and Timothy have documented this process well enough. That will get you a nice updated tach internals, while maintaining the original look. In my book the best of both worlds. I can redo it for you but as I am telling others right now, I have a specific list I am working off of, and right now I have a waiting list that should take mid summer. Man I need to get off my ass, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) First winter project of the winter is done. Hand off to the customer on Tuesday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Then I have 5 more projects defiantly in the queue. And the possibility of two more projects coming up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I just remembered three more I need to add to the list....... Best to do it yourself and learn something new. |
