Default Speedometer repair help

Hi Folks;

I need the round Stewart Warner speedometer in my '31 Vicky repaired.

Who does good repair and restoration work on these speedometers?

Thanks in advance,

Chris W.

Are you looking to have the unit cosmetically restored or simply serviced? Many of those speedometers are available exchange since the cosmetic decal sets came out. I cannot speak to the work of others, but you may find that the trade out works for you. The pot metal frames of those speedometers expand and contract enough in their life to seize up and can be a real pain (labor) to rebuild.

Thanks for all your help.

I talked to Mark (Mark's Speedometer) today and will be sending my speedometer to him tomorrow.

You can also check his web site, www.marksspeedometer.com. or give Mark a call. 406-249-3104. I think his price on early and late speedometers may be different.
