1951 Champion

Can someone help direct me on where I should send my tachometer/speedometer from my 1951 Champion to be rebuilt?

There are a couple of others (1 in So Cal), you should be able to find them on the internet. Expect to pay close to $500. and a fairly long wait. One problem you might find is they may not get the calibration quite right. Unless you have some special reason to keep your original speedo you might want to consider a replacement from one of our Stude dealers. Good luck.

As in Don Gower.
Some folks are just born lucky.

Does a 1951 Champion have a stock tach? Even as a factory option? I'm pretty sure that they weren't available for 1950.

I tried to find an aftermarket tach that would fit in the clock hole for my 1950, but I never found one (analog, anyway) that I thought would fit. Has anyone integrated a tach into the dash on a 1950, instead of just mounting it high or low with a bracket?

No they did not. Thurms was probably thinking about the odometer and everyone was too nice to correct him.

This is what I was kicking around as well... I'd rather have a tach that fits the dash hole than a clock anyway

Yeah - time's irrelevant when you're driving your Studebaker!

True enough, Bob. In my case, the clock itself is irrelevant as well, since it doesn't work.

I bought the clock and have a tach to fit it. (electronic version) The clock and bezel has been installed but I have yet to remove the clock and replace it with the tach. Waiting to get a round tuit.
