Title: VDO hold down bracket
Post by: Mike Schulz on February 18, 2013, 10:30:18 AM
Hi all,
I am looking to buy a hold down bracket which mounts to the bottom of a VDO speedo and holds it in place in the speedo/front number
plate holder for a steel tanker. It is " U - shaped (with squared corners!)" with holes for speedo cable and bolts which come off the bottom of the speedo. Already have the VDO, just need the bracket/hold down. If you have one and are willing to sell please contact me at [email protected] or (630)671-2368. If you know where I can find one, any leads would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Mike,
 Try North Hollywood Speedo. their web site is nhspeedometer.com.
  Web site says the oldest VDO dealer in the country.
 They just rebuilt a VDO for me and made a new cable to go with it.

Or you can watch for a generic and ask for dimensions.  I previous purchased a bracket that was described as for a Polaris.  It was the same size and dimensions but plated.

That will be my next shop to check out when I go visit the kids in SoCal, it is only about 2 miles from my son!
