speedo question/help

reborn55 · March 21, 2010, 06:17:31 PM

Guys--I am in need of a VDO mechanical Cockpit Royale speedometer(think it is 3 3/8--anyone tell me how to measure it.) can't find one anywhere that I have looked. Do any of you have any idea where I can buy one. If I am forced to but the electronic one--do they come with sender or is that an added expense also. Going to try to take mine apart and see if I can free it up. Any good rebuilders out there. Thanks

Do you have a picture? I have a VDO speedo that I removed from my truck when I replaced the gauges.

I will try to find mine today. I think it has a black face and white letters. Now I just have to remember what I did with it.

I have sent guages back to VDO for repair, and outside of shipping there has been no charge. Never did it with a speedo though.

Do you have a contact or link for VDO--every site I go to is meant for a rocket scientist

I can not find the set I had. I must have given them to someone. I am sure that mine was the black face ones. Sorry.

no problem--appreciate the effort. Black would have worked just change the face. Have a great day. Thanks

Was tech able to help?

They do not make that particular speedometer any more only mechanical one they make does not have the tripminder in it. Repairing the one I have would be greater than the cost of a new one like mine. Hooked me up with a company that had mechanicals to sell seperately. So I have one comiong without tripminder for now. Will keep looking for a used one. thanks for the help---great people at VDO
