That's one way of doing it. Is that a self adhesive metal sticker or vinyl?

Just need to find out WHO does these. I have a late 100MPH speedo w/gas gage, in nice condition, I'm thinking of doing like that to match my tach.

How about doing the tach to match the factory speedo? That would look very trick.  Wink

I like that idea also, but my problem is that my gages are Auto-Meter. Would be cheaper for one big one than that and 3 small ones. But a cool idea though!  Roll Eyes
I sent NHSpeedo a e-mail, let see what they reply.

Thanks Dave, I've e-mailed them, lets see what they say. I'm really thinking about the mod, something different.

I had North Hollywood Speedo do my stock speedo to look like my Autometer Phantom gauges in my chop. They turned out awesome.

I made a tach for the old Hebrod to match the split speedo.

Very cool attention to detail, Geoff. And I dig the Speed Racer inspired horn button, too.

Sorry, I watched way too much of that cartoon in the '60s-'70s.

I love the HEB ROD. What a piece of work!  It inspired me to do my VW ROD project.  Still a long way off but will post when the body is tacked together. Still working on the chassis.

You might give Orange Empire Speedometer a call. I've got the number.

Wow... I love the steering wheel. It's like mine but wood!
It s a Racemark as it has the same Raid logo on the bottom spoke.
What about the horn button?

You mean this one? I need to clearance the adaptor so that it would fit in more. Just need the time at work to do it. The button is a little worn but not to bad, but it will go on.
