[Nobbc] Speedo

[liam oflaherty]

I have also had pretty good luck with Palo Alto Speedometer.  I had a 
problem with my MGA speedo and they fixed it in a week. Then I had another 
problem with it and they fixed in a week at no charge.  I had them convert 
my austin healey bugeye tach from cable to electronic at a very reasonable 
price.  All in all I like to shop and support  local shops, sure they have 
their issues but their quick turn around and friendly service and good 
advice I would highly recommend them.
