GPS speedometer/tach combo

Which one are you looking at?

I looked into the fancier GPS speedometer/tachometer combo gauges. Of course, they are expensive and assuming you want the gauges to match you need to replace them all.

I picked up a VDO combo from GP (VDO Tachograph Kit 1318-04 AM General 6500627 6680-01-540-3074 57K6126).
It is not at all what I expected. Though it is listed as a HMMWV replacement from AM General, the VDO is larger than the standard HMMWV speedo and is 12v as opposed to 24v. Also it is a tachograph, so it mechanically records certain engine readings. I'm hoping someone takes it off my hands.

How many do you want?? I have a couple cases of them 24 volt, Primarily up grade kit for M951A1 . Could work with HumV with clever custom dash layout.
