VDO Vision Chrome speedo and tach

It looks like I have drug my feet too long on buying new gauges for my project. I had intended to buy the VDO 6 gauge set part #600-99261. I can't find one for sale anywhere on the interwebs, nor on VDOs web site. Other than $peedhut, what other options are there that include 4" speedometer and tach?

Why not use stock gauges and have them rebuilt to work with your new driveline...

Or... Jim G makes replica sunbeam tach and speedo that use gps and magnetic pickups... Juts a thought

I have to check my spares. I have an old VDO set that Joel didn’t use. Don’t appear to have ever been installed. I’ll post a picture.

My thought on the original gauges is English electronics have never been great, and 50 year old English electronics even less so.

I would be interested in your old set of gauges.

Very interesting. I may now consider a tach from Jim paired with some of the made in India smiths knock offs (those only come with a mechanical tach). If I dont end up with the VDO set mentioned above.

I think jim has offered his volt meters on the saoca before but not the others as they were more tiger specific.... His 8k tach and 140mph speedo would be good for a V6... The sigitial and gps driven ones are an interesting approach... Not my pref.. But great to offer

I ended up finding a set of the VDO gauges that had been a store display. I will have to source the various senders separately. Wish me luck with them.
