HQ Holden Large Gauge Housing VDO replica (SPEEDO) (TACHO)
These HQ Holden Large Gauge Housings are faithful replica replacements for original VDO units that are now cracked, faded, or simply past saving. There’s nothing fancy or reinvented here — just a clean, factory-correct solution that lets you refresh and reuse your original gauge mechanisms in a brand-new housing.
The housings have been dimensionally cloned from original VDO units, making them a direct screw-in replacement with no modification required. Perfect for restorations, tidy-ups, or anyone wanting their dash looking right again without chasing brittle second-hand parts.
