Finished my extra VDO gauges for the Oval's Rally Pack this week.
Pointers all painted the same colour, bezels re-chromed and matched.
Only thing still to do is get the Tacho going.

What do you think.

Thank guys. Getting the tach going is still a bit of a challenge cause its mechanical not electric. Runs off a cable. But I will work it out some how.

Re - Chromeing was done by Vinnies in Dandenong Vic. Nice work. Rechroming a gauge bezel was $15.00.

very ssmick mate:thumb

Two thumbs up :thumb :thumb

That is understatedly cool.....:thumb

Squiz....

very very nice,:thumb you will have to start working on the appearence of that stereo next, not as hard as it may seem

Dean that's VERY sweet!!!!!

Love the chrome!!

Now I know why you were not at the club meeting tonight, trying to get the tacho happening

Have you got the fairy wand out this time??:sandrine

Looks great, good job.:thumb

It would look even better with an original radio under it though.:thumb:thumb

Looks sensational dude! Very nice work :thumb

that looks really good mate!:thumb Cool.

Looks Great Dean.... But get your money back on tha Tacho.




Only Joking bugared if i know where yr gunna get a cable from

how does the 356 porsche run it's mechanical tacho? maybe you can adapt one?

here's an exploded view. I'm sure we can manufcature something Dean.

Thanks for the info Pete, yur a legend. I knew it must be possible. And thanks to big brother Porshe it is. Will the oil pump off a Porshe motor fit straight on a VW 1600?? Looks like it the same thing to me. How hard is it to get these bits?
I'm feeling all Big Kev about the prospect of getting this Tacho going. :thumb

DBD2 Tach Cable $40.00

Cheers Pete, will the pump fit on a 1600VW?

The cable link won't work. Will try again later.

this one is a bettter deal as it has pump gears with the helical drive output.

not sure about the conversion to 1600? try Boris tomorrow, he might know.

Cheers Pete will do. Looks very similar to me. Have put a bid on the first auction. Will keep an eye on the 2nd one.
Dean
