Hi all, I am looking for anyone that has an early HQ GTS 140mph speedo that is broken or not working that they would sell to me. I only need the face and the needle with the black disc on it..IE a correct GTS speedo.  So far I have bought 4 HQ GTS dashes and only one has come with a correct 140mph speedo but the seller ripped me and changed the needle for a standard one. He reckons the disc must have fallen off as the speedo didn't have a lens on it. Almost believable except the needles are different shapes.... Any help much appreciated. I have re-built the HQ speedo above and also the following. HT GTS Monaro speedo  HX GTS Monaro speedo  Looks like I need to polish the plastic lens a little more, missed a few scratches. EH speedo and gauges  All have been fully cleaned, any worn parts replaced and then re-calibrated. Edited by user Monday, 4 February 2008 8:13:59 PM(UTC)

Yes, stupid prices considering most of them are worn out and most have broken mounting tabs. All four HQ speedos I have needed rebuilding. By the time you spend $200 having it rebuilt and calibrated and another $60 or so for new plastic lenses they arent

themounting cases are all the same so broken tabs are not a problem, will have a look I have a box of early/late Q speedos and instrument housing gts and standard.
what did you use to polish the scratches out?

Hi John, yes I know the cases are the same but you still need to buy a standard speedo with a good case and lense for a donor unless you happen to have one lying around.
I use NOVUS 3 stage plastic polish. No. 3 is heavy scratch remover, No. 2 is fine

 Well, I fixed my needle problem by modifying a HX GTS speedo needle. HQ GTS speedo came up real nice now fully rebuilt, calibrated and original lens polished up. Almost looks new.
