The OEM dials on my instrument panel started bubbling; I found a very good cluster removal procedure from "6" and removed it myself. I was going to take the cluster to a speedo shop in Palo Alto to replace the dials, but a co-worker told me about a shop he used to deal with in Walnut Creek (moved to Concord). The shop does cluster repairs for many other car makers but not for Porsches, but changing dials is straight forward and they had no problem doing it.

The turnaround time was one day less than the other place and they charged like a little more than half of the other place. I installed the cluster back on my car and all lights and needles are working fine.

I thought you were going to post pictures of you in a bathing suit - I didn't know if I should look or not

Thanks for the good info on another repair shop Eugene - looks like you had good success and quick service. How are their prices?

 

Hey Rich, I knew someone would bring that up.

I paid $85 vs. $150.

 

Your gauges have to work hard as they are always at Redline and 200mhp. lol Good thing you upgraded.

 

If that's the logic, yours should be bubbling long ago Marco. I think it's the opposite; they don't work hard enough and got rusty.

 

Looks good Eugene! See you on Sunday.

 

Thanks Neil! Just came back from a 25 mile bike ride in Napa, I'm so out of shape. I'll see you on Sunday.

 

looking good Eugene!

 

Hey Rich, long time no see, how's life treating you?

 

that’s cool...was the shop called "Speedo Tach" by chance? I used them many years ago on a restoration and lost track of where they went. Have an address?


nevermind I'm a dumb, you know. just saw the link...thx
.

 

You got it Ron! I believe the shop does more B2B business than B2C.

 

well done!
Eugene, Are you going to show up tomorrow?
I am kind of lazy to drive my car. Maybe I will be there by scooter. ha ha

 

Yes, see you tomorrow Rex.
