Thanks Gary.  There is a place, Ringwood Speedo, that have been around forever and do excellent work. Problem is they seem to be a bit set in their ways (I may be wrong as haven't dealt with them for some years), which is fine if you are looking for original, but this guy is doing exactly what I want. Cheers Ron

Thanks gents. Just been reading through a bit of his facebook page (I'm not on Facebook) and he appears to do a lot of LH LX clusters and a lot of old Holdens.  He says that he is getting a lot of this work at present.  I'm looking at a cluster with all new gauges and electronic speedo.  Here's a pic he sent me. Cheers Ron

Nice one Nick.  The more I speak to him the more knowledgeable he sounds, particularly with old GMH electrics.  Are you getting your original restored or doing something different? Cheers Ron
