I need one! What are your estimates for turnin' the final product, assuming Quality Testing and final design are successful? How long will each one take to assemble?

Good thing we won't have to send in our cluster, that will save time. I have no problem doing some slight modification to fit the unit onto my cluster.

Yeah, this would definitely be worth not running a speedometer for a while waiting for this to be developed and finished.

Guys just got off the Phone with Zipster and the test run in his car of the prototype went Great it all worked out and was as smooth as butter he said all the way down to 2mph.

He all so said that he will be shipping my Prototype soon so i will have it on the Hot Rod Power Tour to test and show off to you guys.And to help get the Word out about the New Speedometer Drive Solution that is about to hit the market.

As soon as i have one in my car i will get some video so you guys can see it working for you self. I will all so take Video of it on the Power Tour going down the Interstate so you can see how its gone to work in the real world on the highway.

Great job. That was always one annoyance of my Abbot. From 0-10 mph it rarely worked, only popped up around 10mph. Although on the way down it would work ok. Just from standstill was the issue.

The Great Thing about the one Zipster has came up with is it will work in any Car with little to No Modifying of the dash. He has been working trying to make it as Universal as he can. Its just gone to hook on the back of your Stock Dash in the place of your old Speedo Cable and it will turn your Speedo just like your Old Cable did.

The Speedo Drive Solution will take up about as much room as a D Size Battery so if you have anuff room on the back of your dash that a D size battery will fit then the Speedo Drive Solution should work in your car.
