Does anyone have Laurent's email address, or know of an alternate means of contacting him? I sent him a PM over a week ago, but he hasn't been on the forum since the beginning of June.

Thanks, Tom

Hi,
For those of you that are still waiting on gauges from Sean, I received an amp gauge and a King Sealy speedometer in the mail from him a few weeks ago. Don't give up. He apologized for the delay and said he would send the rest as soon as he can get them completed. The gauges look great by the way. It was a very welcome surprise as I have been waiting a long time.

Thanks for posting the update Chuck. I got one of my speedometers back from OZ last year after it was MIA for about five years and it also arrived unexpectedly but looked perfect. Only one more that is waiting to be re-magnetized and calibrated so I'll continue to wait patiently.

Take a look at Williamson's Instruments in Arkansas.

I didn't see any gpw or Willys gauges in their gallery and I don't want my gauges to be someone's guinea pig. Have you used them in the past?

Yes. Call them. They'lol probably put you in touch with some restoration outfit in sT Louis who have used them extensively.

Has anyone made contact with Laurent recently, does he have an updated contact INFO? Aside from Laurent and Sean, can anyone recommend a Stateside contact for an Autolite early MB speedo?

Many thanks!
