VDO Speedometer parts

[Kneale Brownson]

I think I got this info from the old two-wheeled BMW 
list:    http://continentalimports.com/    these guys sell VDO instruments 
from all sorts of vehicles and service them too.  Supposedly, if you call 
and ask for Scott, you also can purchase individual VDO instrument 
parts.  They're not supposed to sell them, so they don't advertise that 
aspect of their business, but they do sell them, according to whomever 
supplied the information.  Probably good to have all identifying numbers 
off the instrument, as well as all the vehicle info, so both sides know 
which parts they're talking about.  Even better (as an indication of your 
ability to reassemble the instrument without causing any problems for 
Continental) would be to have whatever parts you want individually 
available in front of you when you call.  If you can say, "I took this 
seventeen-tooth gear off the shaft after removing the three other gears 
XXX, etc." to convince them you know what you need and what to do with it.
