Re: [T3] Tach or clock?
<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh"><div>There was a VDO Type-3 Tach made which can be seen <a href="http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/354419.jpg";>here</a> , but can fetch anywhere from $600 - $800</div>

<div>There is also a Reproduction Tach by Tacho Thomas from Germany which in my opinion actually matches the guages better. This can be seen <a href="http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/351540.jpg";>HERE</a> and cost about $300-$400.
