Tacho renovation

Post by willone » Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:41 pm

Hi - my tacho is in very bad condition, and needs some love to get back on track, so I am looking for any tips for whom might do such work?

Pleas let me know

Will

Hi,

I emailed Horex Forster and asked if he has got some P&S tacho parts that i need. I got an answer the same day that he has the parts I need and he also send a invoice/proforma for the parts.

I had some more questions about the parts, which I emailed him, but I did not get any answer.

Payed for the parts in the beginning of December 2011 and have still not heard a word from him and no parts. Tried to contact Mr K.Forster at least three times by mail, but still no answer....Not the fastest service...
Maybe he is dead :roll: RIP

Seems that he is still alive.

Unfortunately I dont speak German myself so I had a German friend of mine to call him this week to ask why I have not recieved the parts.

According to Mr. Forster he had not all parts on stock (even if they were on the bill), he told my friend that the he is waiting for the P&S uhrblatt from some company who is printing them for him.

The info he gave is that he may have the uhrblatt in March and then he will send the parts.

I am not in a hurry for the parts, so lets see what happens. The only thing I wonder is why he did not inform me about the delay. Lets see how this ends up.

Hello Frank,
The only thing I know is that he does very good work, only negative is that he stays not in touch with his clients, but on the end every-one is statisfied.
So I hope that the same will count for you. You said it, nothing for people who are in a hurry.

Still no tacho parts from Mr.Forster....but I have time....

But to the problem:

A friend of mine is also renovating a NZ 350 and he should need a new numberplate (Uhrblatt) for a P&S speedo.

Is there any other makers of them in Germany or Europe where to buy them from, no idea to try to get something from this seller if you really want to get the parts the same year you order them???

The Ka-Ja-Tacho was very fast and friendly with their answer, but unfortunately the only things they have are different types of bezels and glasses for tachos.

Mr.Forsters and my tacho business will soon have its first birthday :-({|=
So I think I will send him a birthday cake to celebrate still no parts.....one year after payment....

A question to the site admin: Should the info about this *¤¤4###%&% be taken away from vendors site to avoid that others are cheated by him?

Here is a seller that i warmly can recommend if you need zifferblatt for the NZ P&S tacho.

Top quality workmanship (no cheap decals, the zifferblatt is printed/painted)and very good communication!!!=D>
