He=92ll quote you a price based on what you need done and then he=92ll conf=
irm the price once he gets the gauges.
He converted my tach to electronic and my speedometer to GPS. Then he had h=
is =93artist=94 repaint my dash faces in Magnolia. Beautiful work and craft=
smanship.
If your speedo need calibration he=92ll ask you to do this before sending t=
hem out http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm

Subject: [TR] TR6: cleaning up speedo/tach/gauges vs. paying someone else t=
odo it
I'm replacing the dash on my '74 TR6. The gauges/speedo/tach all work
(maybe not terribly accurate tho!). But, wow, they're pretty grimy
compared to this shiny new wood dash I've got. What's left of the
o-rings is cracked and crumbled. With a little encouragement I can get
the speedo and tach open - but how does one safely open up the
fuel/temp/oil/volts gauges?
The other option is to send them to a restoration shop (there are
several that show up in a search; note that Nisonger is no longer doing
repairs but selling replacement units only). Any idea what a
clean-up/check-up would cost for these 6 units? I've got a huge list of
other things to work on rather than spend the time on these things.
Thanks!
Lee
