Full Electronic Dash

Hi All across the pond..I have an '86 Trans-Am here in England. All working fine until 2 years ago, then the mas and head gaskets went. On return the speedo read 0 mph or 188 mph. After 2 years and numerous visits to GM dealers in Kissimmee, Fla they all pointed me to a company in Orlando. I got within 2 miles of the place phoned them to be told they send them to Tampa. GM main dealers dont touch them or GM themselves either!!!!!
On advice I was told to try United Radio , after 3 promissing phone calls I was told they dont stock parts for the '86 T/A's. They did say try Specmo Industries, 3 phone numbers later and I found them...Heres the good news...www.specmo.com will take you to their web page and contact details. Have a word with Tom Bennett or Laurie Voorhies fax (248) 307-2571 and they will sort you out..its not cheap , mine cost $260 + shipping for a 1 day turnround. Friendly, quick helpful what more can I say ,,,after 2 years it feels like I have my old girlfriend back....(Dont tell the wife!!!) lets keep em rollin......hope this is of some help to someone Charlie

Yes you read right.. GM have nothing to repair these dashes. American Radio dont either but SPECMO do. They repair only they dont sell due to the scarceness of them. If you want one look on EBay or Yahoo America auctions as I missed one by 2 weeks, the only other thing to do is check out the breakers yards when you pass by on vacation. good luck
