I've been searching in here and google for a 3-3/8" adapter to use a 3-1/8" speedometer but I can't seem to find anything The closest thing I came up with is a VDO 600-885 but it seems plastic and black....any other options or suggestions are welcome. https://discountegauges.com/vdo-600-885-reducing-ring-from-3-3-8-85-mm-to-3-1-8-80-mm-black-600-885/ Hoping to use an Autometer Old Time speedometer but they don't make on 3-3/8" mechanical :-(
If the outer chrome bezel ring holds it from falling through you could get a 3.375 piston ring from a flattie,and slip it over the body to center it in the hole.
I had this issue , on my OT Power Wagon , I used two old floppy discs trimmed as needed and epoxied in place . 100K miles in a shaky ass Cummins and not one issue
This is one I found a minute ago. https://discountegauges.com/vdo-600-885-reducing-ring-from-3-3-8-85-mm-to-3-1-8-80-mm-black-600-885/
Although Rusty is not in the business anymore I would think he might know the answer to your question, send e1956v a conversation and ask him if he can help. HRP
You guys rock! Thank you for the ideas and replies. Dreracecar I will be reaching out to you. Glad you are near by.
Hey Danny, appreciate the mention. Just to clear things up I shut down the starter alternator and generator rebuilding side of the business when I sold the building. I still have the speedometer repair side of the business going, operating out a shop in my home garage. So Speedometer Service is still in business.
Here is the fix I came a with... I bought this aluminum bezel ring on eBay, not sure what is it for...maybe a taillight or a marine gauge. OD is 3-1/2" and ID is 3" $8 with free shipping Used a drum sander to shave the inside diameter to 3-1/8". Dremel was taking too long. As is, it took me a couple of hours. You can see how much material I removed. It has a nice profile. It is already polish and it fit the gauge just right. Goes well with the rest of the gauge panel Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
