Title: WTD: VDO Tacho Chrome Ring
Post by: Deanodynosaurs on August 15, 2008, 09:49:39 am
Hi all,

I just recently got a genuine early VDO tacho. It's really nice, and in good condition for the age, but I want to change the chrome ring on it as it's started to peel and is a bit dented.

I'm sure I've heard that somebody sells new replacement items (possibly on ebay) but I can't seem to find them. Does anybody know where I could get this new chrome trim (90mm) from? Or alternatively does anybody know anywhere that rebuilds gauges in the UK?

Cheers,

Dude 8)

If you post a pic of the tach, I'll check my stuff.

 I've got 2 or 3 chrome rims, but each is lightly different.

  I at Spa next weekend and then at VW Action & Vanfest.  :)

Sorry for the late response!

black_bullitt - thanks for the contact details, i spoke to him and he said he hasn't got the chrome sourounds, but he can put it on for me if i get one.

Plasticblack - In refrence to my above comment I'd be really intrested in buying one of the chorme rings off you if its correct. I will email you today with some photos.  :)

Thanks both for your help!  :)
