Many guys including myself have had their OEM gauges updated to all electric. Amp meter refaced and converted to voltmeter. Use the search engine.

To the point, I called to get a price for their upgraded Encore gauge restoration...$1000.00 Perfect solution but out of most budgets for sure.

So is there any other sources besides paying 1 grand not counting the speedo to do this ?? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | Grigg did a pretty cool conversion awhile back. He gutted his old Speedo and put the insides out of a newer one in it.
You might be able to do the same with some El-cheapo gauges. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | I used John Wolf & Co. in Ohio (440-942-0083). They repaired my broken speedometer, converted my amp meter to voltmeter. Added dampening to my gas gauge (gas tank doesn't have baffles), change oil pressures gauge to electric and supplied sender. Can't remember if he converted my temp. gauge to electric. Re-faced all to look like they just left the factory. Cost around $700.00 if I remember correctly.
