Wow… he’s that busy now?!? Last time I used him was 5 years ago and it was 6 weeks… and he delivered on time.

Morris is the best.  But plan on waiting at least six months.

He’ll quote you a price based on what you need done and then he’ll confirm the price once he gets the gauges.
 
He converted my tach to electronic and my speedometer to GPS. Then he had his “artist” repaint my dash faces in Magnolia. Beautiful work and craftsmanship.
 
If your speedo need calibration he’ll ask you to do this before sending them out http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm

I'm replacing the dash on my '74 TR6. The gauges/speedo/tach all work 
(maybe not terribly accurate tho!). But, wow, they're pretty grimy 
compared to this shiny new wood dash I've got. What's left of the 
o-rings is cracked and crumbled. With a little encouragement I can get 
the speedo and tach open - but how does one safely open up the 
fuel/temp/oil/volts gauges?
 
The other option is to send them to a restoration shop (there are 
several that show up in a search; note that Nisonger is no longer doing 
repairs but selling replacement units only). Any idea what a 
clean-up/check-up would cost for these 6 units? I've got a huge list of 
other things to work on rather than spend the time on these things.
Thanks!
