I have a 1957 D-14 that does not and did not have a tachometer. A company in India is selling this "restoration quality" gauge set on ebay for $80. Has anyone had any luck with these? I know for sure the fuel gauge is wrong, but I could leave the traction booster gauge in or replace it too. I am skeptical about these, but most replica gauges are probably made over there anyways. I have also seen a tachometer cable online for $35. Is that all I would need to have an operational tach? Where does to cable hook up on the engine? Any comments are extremely appreciated. Thanks, Matt Splittgerber  |

I would not even buy them, they do not look even close to authentic. For a bit more money, you can buy authentic looking guages from several of the vendors on this site. I personally have bought several from Norm Steinman (IND above) - including the ones below for my D15. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

I made the mistake of buying them for my dads d14, because he wanted to save some money and the amp meter doesn't work and the tach wouldn't read correct. ------------- D19 Diesel,D17 Diesel SER.3 2-D14, 2-D15 SER.II WF/NF D15 SER.2 DIESEL D12 SER.I, D10 Ser.II 2-720'S D21 Ser.
