I don't know about repros but I would say you are probably better off finding someone who will recal and refinish an original. Good luck.

Sounds like you may have an issue with your speedo cable if you keep breaking speedos. Just a thought.

yes autometer makes a replacement speedometer but will not fit in the rally or stock bezel fixture

you will have to make a replacement if you want new or you can have www.redelinegaugeworks.com rebuild the speedometer just like new.

Tyler,

Did you find a 'factory' sppedo? I looked at their site but only saw the tach...which, at $199 for a 'new' unit with updated internals isn't too bad.
