Sorry, but after 295 of these Sprites passing through our shop, a very high percentage have had non-working tachs, or speedos, or both. Love the originals. And we sell a lot of the electronic versions for reliabilty. Ever had a broken tach gearbox? Or a slipping speedo pinion in your transmission? Or oil wicking up a cable? Or broken or improperly routed cables? All these problems go away with these electronic gauges...
@0:46 "...peak speed was 169... that wasn't me." LOL!
David, once this sold can you tell me the sale price? Looked like a very fun and well done mod.
Thank You, Dawg!
This is the one I would take - always like the blue. At age 81 and caregiver to an invalid wife, guess I will just have to keep dreaming...
Someone featured the speedometer in the Midget & Sprite club magazine. M.
Hmmm nothing wrong with mechanical gauges we have plenty of folk in the UK who repair these as they are so simple and last for years
