They often come up on eBay. There are a couple of cars being scrapped out at the moment.

I am changing all my clocks to Stack and the last one I need to do is the speedo, I am waiting for a 2nd hand stack gauge to come up on eBay, this may take some time so I'll drop u a line of it happens in the near future.

Have u tried mike taylor?
