    Voltage Limiter for Gauges - Need Source
    « on: July 28, 2012 - 11:58:53 AM »
    Anyone know who currently stocks the new solid state voltage limiter for the gauges.  I had my rallye gauges completely refaced and recalibrated at Auto Instruments, but they could not source the voltage limiter that they advertise.  It's been 3 months since I installed the gauges but I don't want to hook them up with the old limiter in case it's bad.  I've got a small Auto Gauge cluster hooked up so I can drive the car, but I don't want to screw it into the dash.

    I'll order it immediately if someone can tell me the source.  I don't want a NOS or replacement unit with the points.  I want a solid state unit only. :crying:

    ASk for David Patik - owner.
    He rebuilds guages and such.
    I am going by his and picking up one from him Tuesday.  I think he has the points ones as well as the solid state ones.

    Great guy ..
    He is in Tallahassee FL.

    Thanks guys.  I'll order on Monday as soon as I confirm that Auto Instruments will cooperate (I paid in advance).

    Attempts made:

    Called Auto Instruments: Back ordered. Maybe 2-3 months.
    They told me their source is M & H Electric who make the wire harnesses for Year One.
    They can't I.D. their own p/n # for it. If they did know the p/n; it's $40.00.

    Called Real Time Engineering/Dash Worx: Left 2 VM's. No reply.

    sent E-Bay PM to Van's Auto: no reply and not being listed now.

    I built mine myself. Used the case of the old unit and added the electronics in it. Uses a triac and a capacitor. Got the circuit from one of the mopar magazines. Search my mopar.com for the circuit if you want to do yourself. My cost was $5
