Jay,
I was looking into replacing guages (as well as the dash) a month or so
ago. There is a VDO guage reseller in North Hollywood called
Pacific Parts and Instruments, Inc.
6111 Lankershim Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91606
(818) 761-5139
They have a catalog with a wide selection of VDO guages from
Illuminated, to luminescent white etc. etc.
It looks like a complete kit (with new senders)
Speedo
Tach
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
Water TEmp
Voltage
Amperage
Clock
Fuel
runs about 600 buccks in an impressive illuminated white with black
lettering and bezel.
They also have a division named North Hollywood Speedometer & Clock Co.
(same phone number) who repairs guages etc. They are capable of
replacing the face of your current guages with white faces. I have two
complaints with the Bricklin guages. One the color combination screams
leisure suit, and I don't like how the guages are inset and angled. If
you like the angle and want to keep the Bricklin look, I would recommend
having the guages repaired and replaced with new faces. Otherwise go
with the whole new set (and let me know how it goes) Unfortunately
there are other more crucial problems that need to be fixed beofre I
start replacing guages.
Along the same line there is a company called
Specialty Power Windows
(800) 634-9801 (order line)
(912) 994-9248 (technical service)
Theyt are located out of Forsyth, GA
I talked to them and they seem fully capable of a specialty installation
of power windows. I have noticed a few threads about installing
something to this effect. If anyone calls them, or has something
installed let me know. They specialize in Old american cars like Model
T's and roadsters and stuff. Seems like our best bet.
