Speedo Rebuild, Mr Heaterbox Review

[70SwingerGuy]

So I just got my rallye speedo back from MrHeaterbox, and I promised a couple of members that I would review it.
Overall, VERY happy with my experience with this company, with one exception(although not their fault), for some reason my ISP does not like their email address and will not allow any emails in or out from it, neither in my email client, or their web-based email, my gmail address works just fine though, so if for any reason you do not receive communication from them, check this out as a possible reason why.
I sent it to them for mostly gear rebuild, calibration, new numbers, cleaning/greasing etc, not so much for cosmetics as I am happy with how my speedo looks.
Upon inspection, it was packed VERY well and shipped via FedEX. The pics show the unboxing, very solid wrapped transport box, bubble wrap, followed by more bubble wrap, then the speedo itself in a sealed plastic bag. The speedo is clean and neat, solid and exactly what i had wanted done. The first pic is of the instructions that they received, and all were followed to a T. They also include a two year warranty on their work.
Turnaround time from shipping it off, to receiving it today was a tad over a month, time in transit was probably about a week in total.
Will definitely use them again.
Hope this helps any members out who are considering using them.

No problem Steve. It was $350 CAD for the work, plus tax and shipping back to me, so just a tad under $400 CAD. And they replaced the tripmeter wheels and all new numbers as well.

interested to see how it performs/accuracy once installed. my original speedo, with taller than stock tires, the odometer reads 3% low (as expected with the 3% taller than stock tires) when comparing odometer to freeway mile markers, but reads 10% high for speed compared to GPS speed on my phone (70MPH indicated is 62-63 actual, 60 MPH indicated is ~55 actual)....would like to get the speedo to correlate to the odo, so I can just change the gear out for my gearing/tire height and have both be accurate.

Im interested as well. After a little trial and error with the speedo drive, Dan at Brewers turned me on to what I should be using. After installing the proper drive, my speedo was pretty accurate, with a little variation at lower(non highway) speeds, Im hoping that after the rebuild and calibration, that will have been corrected as well.
Forgot to mention, turns out that there was actual sandblasting sand in my speedo, a previous owner must have been pretty sloppy at some point.
