Reply to "Instrument replacement"

I replaced the replica gauges with rebuilt authentic VDO gauges. I had the work done by Palo Alto Speedometer. Came out great. The few problems were taken care of immediately with no complaints.

The VDO have a smaller diameter. To make up for this I designed filler pieces that can be 3D-printed. You just glue the fillers to the back of the dash and slip the gauges right in. Easy, and inexpensive, to do. If you like, I can send you the file and suggest where to have the printing done.

Notice the black ring around the gauges? That's the fillers painted satin black, so they look like the rubber that would normally be there.
