Default Re: gauge repair/restoration

[ QUOTE ]
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with www.AutoInstruments.com . I am thinking of sending my gauges, clock and speedometer from my 442 there to be refurbished. While based on my research they seem to be priced on the high side, they also appear to do the most thorough job with not only mechanical, but also cosmetic issues. There is a pretty nice article on some of their work in the Jan issue of Muscle Car Review. Plus another great thing is they do their own in-house plastic chroming.

Any comments? Other recommendations?

I have sent three gauge clusters there before. One for a '70 Dodge B Body, and two for '70 Plymouth E Bodies. The work is very good but I have found out that Redline Gauge Works http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/ does the same work and knows how to calibrate gauges right. Shannon the owner of Redline says he is getting sent redone gauges in that were done at Auto Instruments for repairs. I had to send them my last gauge cluster after spending $1,100 bucks with Auto Instruments. The temp gauge and voltage regulator were not reading right.
