Just received my new custom built electronic speedo today so I thought I'd share...
It will run by either using a signal from a GPS sender or a trans mounted sender

Here's a pic along side my refaced Autometer tach...

Thx Jim. Very cool indeed. Not sure about the Forum rules in regards, but I'll ask anyways...Is it a one-off or are you able to provide pricing and vendor details?
I've got to tackle "the Hump" and come to Port for a visit one of these days.
Cheers! Mike

Hey Mike!

They're actually a 'two-off' at this point... I had a pair of speedos made and also a pair of matching 8K tachs. Nice thing about the tachs is they're somewhat more accurate than the Autometer ones which can read about 200 rpm off :eek:

All the gauges have been built using original Jaeger pointers to make them as authentic as possible :cool:

I'm still working with the supplier on a few details and have other 'Tiger style ' gauges in the works, too . If it all pans out and there is enough interest, I will become the vendor ( CAT 'hobby vendor' right Warren ? ;) ) and will advertise them on this site with pricing, etc.

Here's a pic of the 'new' speedo alongside a stock one for comparison.. the 'new' tach ( sorry, no pic yet ) has the same lettering, also

Give me a call sometime and we'll catch up on our 'projects' :cool:

Plenty of room in the section Jim.
Plus, A + on following the rules and playing nicely with others. :)

If you all read your Tiger Tales and for those non members . CAT parts had put out a vendor and parts suppliers wanted at the last meeting.

I'd think about one of if you could easily re set the mileage meter.

a little progress

I now have a matching tach too :cool: Bonus is it won't droop below '0' with the key off like most of the Autometer conversions do

Still waiting on the 'new' voltmeter, etc.
