Speedometer rebuild and wiring harness replace

[Gabe A.]

Fellow members,

Two questions I'm seeking advice on for my 54 vette.

First, my speedometer finally went out and needs to be rebuilt. Anyone know of a reputable company/person that rebuilds these and what the typical cost is?

Second, the wiring harness on my car is original and is becoming frail. I am looking to replace it and found two kits, Lectric Limited and Zip's Corvette. Lectric seems to be the most complete of the two but is quiet a bit more money wise. Any recommendations on a complete wiring harness? Is it easy to do yourself or should I have a professional handle?

Thanks in advance!

Gabe

Take a look at: http://www.wiringharness.com/ I find them to be the closest to original.

Harry, do you have experience with their battery ground cable? How accurate is it for a '57? Thanks! Steve

Steve, everything I've gotten for my 63's has been spot on.

M&H are one of the best reproducing wiring harnesses! They don't have errors in connecting wrong wires like the other company mentioned!

That's good to know. I was all set on going with Lectric just because I haven't heard much about the other guys.

I've used both vendors products, and I feel the M & H is the superior product. BTW, Zip Corvette sells M & H exclusively.

Gabe, I always take mine to Bill Harrison here in Jupiter Fl. If I was far away I would ship to him.

Bill is excellent.

Corvette Specialities does a nice job on gauges.

Gabe:
I had D&M Restoration rebuild both my '57 and '61 speedos and they did an excellent job with quick turnaround. They advertise in the Driveline.
