289 SW Speedometer and Tachometer

[LMH]

It took a lot of searching and a number of period SW gauges to rob parts off of to get this right but the end result turned out pretty good!

Hey Paul!
Your Daytona project is incredible! Love seeing it go together. I don't have any other needles, sorry.
The needle was one of the parts I had to do a lot of searching for and finally found on an old gauge that was trashed. I bought about six old gauges total to end up with two after Joey finished. I think I found the correct needle on an old tractor tach that had an electric tach drive attached to the case. I did find other needles that were close but we're too short once I actually got them, so look carefully at photos if you search for one. I sent everything I had collected to Mo-Ma and he put them together using a VDO drive for the tach internals. That way, I don't have to use a separate tach drive as the originals did.
