Who needs a speedo on an ALFA

. Actually before you think about trying to find a replacement, which I have no idea where and how much that will cost. I have another possibility for you, we have a Gauge restoration place here in Brisbane called Lionel Otto Instruments. Give them a call before you do anything, I am sure they can fix it and it will be way cheaper than a replacement speedo. I know that 1750 speedos are common and relatively cheap but I have no idea about a Giulia Sprint GT speedo. I haven't had a chance to test mine as I have never driven my sprint

Here is the link.

Here is a full set for sale on Ebay in the UK. I still don't think this is the smart way to go on this one.

Mullet, I went to Otto's yesterday to inquire about my gauges. A full service on a set of 4 gauges will probably cost no more than $280 max all up, that service, calibration etc. They also paint the inside of the gauge white to increase the brightness. I think that is pretty good considering what they have to do. I think this makes more sense than buying a set that you have no guarantee is any better than the ones you currently have. Short cuts cost you more in the long run, but hey that is your decision .

I'm going to give them a call tomorrow, but has anyone had Ottos sort out the ancilliary gauges on a stepnose (The milky perspex problem)?
