Still couple small items to sort. The odometer is not working so I called Palo Alto Speedo and they asked I ship it back to them so they can sort it out. Hartmut said the day it arrives they will get to it and then ship it right back. Great customer service.

My car had a documented mileage of about 89K with a log book that was current so I know it is accurate mileage. As we all know the early Porsche speedos only went to 99,999 and then they rolled over to 00000. I did not want to lose my original mileage so I asked PAS about converting to a later speedo with a 6 digit odometer. So they did that and that converts it to electrical instead of cable driven. So the good news is when the speedometer works the odometer should work as well since it is all within the actual speedometer. So something probably shorted out during all of the work. The horns are now working correctly too.
