... or North Hollywood Speedometer, who turn out a very nice product, but yeh, I've heard Victor Miles is the pro's pro if you truly want first rate restored original.

Edit: Oops! I misread "tire" gauges, was thinking dash guages!! Not sure what a tire gauge is or must be aftermarket to measure your tire pressure, but Victor Miles must be your guy! You are down to some serious originality!

If the question is "Who can restore this _________ from my 356?" the answer is pretty much always Victor Miles. He's only about an hour from Santa Monica.

I took a look at my Messko. Re-chroming should be easy--disassembly and reassembly... That's a job for Victor.
