Does anyone know of a vendor who can supply a electronic replacement speedo for a 63 MGB that looks like the original?  My existing speedo locked up and was never correct on the speed anyway.

Could try these guys to custom make one:  http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/

We have used these guys for years:

Any electronic gauge is going to not have a mechanical odometer and may not have the jewels in them for things like turn signal, charge lamp or high beam indicator.

If you contact them, they can give you a number of options. None will be as cheap as just installing an aftermarket gauge, but if matching the stock units makes a difference to you, then the cost is worth it.

Jeff,

Give Roger a call at Speedometer Service Company 414-463-6660. www.speedometersolutions.com
They should be able to help you out.

Cheers

Pete

Maybe I'm missing something, but assuming you still have the 4 cylinder, the 63 would have a mechanical tach.  Just buy a tach out of a 65 - 68 and it looks identical but is electric.

Bill, this is Jeff's car...  http://www.britishv8.org/MG/JeffHowell.htm

Spectacular, eh?

Oops, sorry, reading to fast, saw 'tach' for speedo and wondered what the problem was.

Now If I could just figure out why my electronic speedo refuses to register on the Jamaican. It has a V8 T5 in it - guess the first thing to do is pull the wires and drive it and see if there is any juice?  Make sure the sender is working.
