[6pack] Instrument restoration

[Bob Danielson]

Bill,
Can you define "restore" i.e.gauges refinished to concurs standards or 
do you just want them re-calibrated. If you're looking to have both 
re-calibrated, I highly recommend West Valley Auto in Resada CA. My 
speedo was re-calibrated for $125 and the odometer gear was changed out 
for $60 to accommodate the Toyota 5 speed and Nissan Diff. The cable 
rebuild was $30. The tach was re-calibrated for $100 and the cable was $20.

They do not cosmetically refurbish the gauge to new condition though 
they do clean them up nicely. Look as it as a mechanical restoration 
versus a Concurs restoration. Turn around time was less then 10 days in 
both cases but Morris calls once he gets your gauge and gives you a firm 
price and date.

Whatever you do, get your cables rebuilt at the same time. Most cables 
have too much of the tip protruding which can impact and/or damage your 
gauge. Toward the bottom of this page 
http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm  are all the 
proper cable specs.
