I don't have a horse in this race, never dealt with Mo-Ma, no first hand experience, no opinion on them.  I don't know how serious Lou was with the comments above, but I do have an opinion about whether people should be able to give negative reviews on the list, I know vendors work hard for our business, and we are lucky to have them, but I would like to hear all sides unedited in this overedited world,  and that is one of the great things about the list, you get to benefit from other's experiences and lessons here.

Best Regards, Greg Lemon

I refuse to read the juvenile comments below about MO-MA without a rebuttal.  About twelve years ago I sent all six of the original gauges (notice correct spelling) from my 54 TR2.  With the gauges I also sent the tachometer and speedometer cables and fuel tank float.  About 45 days later all were returned in absolutely beautiful condition - I was awed by their appearance.  Now almost 35,000 miles later all remain perfect in both appearance and operation.  To say that the now deceased Margaret or Joey would say to you they prefer Pebble Beach customers or treated you like a tier five customer is a crock.  I have and always will recommend MO-MA as the best of the best.

In closing, I will renew my pleading with Mark, our esteemed leader, to enforce a rule stating that any bashing of vendors while naming names will result in a minimum six months suspension!

I've been buggered by this dilemma some years back.  I did send my original guages to Mo-Ma for rebuild, only to get them back with no cosmetics to the faces or needle and with the gas guage going bad within the first driving season.  Cost?  $700.  To be fair, Mo Ma made it clear, their first priority was to Pebble Beach type customers.  Fine.  But as a hobbyist, I don't particularly like being treated like a tier five customer who was made to wait 6 months for my product back.  Maybe the other guage specialists are better....
