I have a speedometer that reads about 10 mph too high (with tires near stock diameter), and with a broken odometer. I figure my options are:
1. Tear into it myself, hope the odo problem is the typical stripped gear, and try to reset the speedo needle correctly. 2. Send it off, and wait. What's the going rate these days for this work? 3. Buy a used replacement. What's the going rate for that? I want one that looks nice, but not concours. And works. |

I had Hartmut at Palo Alto Speedo do all of my gauges and they all came out like jewelry. I run a later 911 electric speedo (for the extra digit on the odometer) and it is GPS driven and dead accurate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Another + for Palo Alto, they've done a number of gauges for me, can even calibrate to correct tire rotating diameter. Reminds me I need to send them my 914 speedo. |
