Merv,
I bought all my gauges and senders from Abel Instruments at Loganholme who were the agent for VDO when I bought my gauges a couple of years ago. They were VDO cockpit vision. They painted the pointers white and replaced the black bezels with chrome ones(Smith replicas). If you try Ottos it is worth the drive down to Loganhlme for a second price.

As RAW said, make sure you reflectors are ADR current when your engineer submits your approval paperwork.
Last week I had a phone call from the engineer to tell me the Qld Transport had not approved my car because the reflectors were not ADR approved. The reflectors, which were Hella were ADR approved when I bought them, but from that time to when the inspector was going through the apllication Hella withdrew them from the market. They are now no longer ADR approved.
Six dollars for two new ADR approved Narva reflectors, a couple of photographs emailed to the inspector and now the car is approved.

Warren
