Mike Stopforth has reproduction air cleaners, both Ford and slat. Joe's Motor Pool is reproducing the gauges. His Speedos are pretty nice. As to originals, I looked for years before I found gauges and a speedometer that I could afford. Maybe prices on originals will come down now that quality replacements are becoming available. Russ

Is there any chance of adding a link to the gauges mate? Unable to find them on his website.

The Joes motor Pool Slat Speedos are available now, the rest of the gauges should be available sometime this year. I have one of his Speedos and it looks great.

See a post regarding his parts here.

Thanks for this mate. I have one of the Motometer conversions myself. Not the real one unfortunately. But the photo you posted , the speedometer looks very nice.

Cheers

Found out this week at Petaluma that Mike Stopforth has sold out his business and I don't know where the parts went and whether there will be any more of the pancake air filters. (Anybody have any info on this?)
I did get another look at the repro Speedos that our sponsor is now carrying. Very nice. And the repro carburetors are pretty good, too. Chuck Lutz made a side by side comparison with his very nicely restored 539 carbs. This is what he said:

FYI...I have seen a side-by-side comparison with the ones Joe's Motor Pool is having made...they pass the six-foot test, but if you look close enough there are some differences between them.
Chuck Lutz

Ron said the carbs were tested and run over a year and a half and the glitches were fixed and the end product works well. Between Ron and Chuck's comments, you get a good feel for the quality of the product. They run good and you have to look closely to see the difference.

The new Slat speedometers are nice but there is enough difference between those and an original that anyone with even a little familiarity with MB Autolite speedometers can tell the difference. They are a very nice substitute though.
