Contacting Julian Reap
Hi
Does anyone know the best way to get hold of him ? I've sent regular e-mails and left voicemails...nothing. I've gone and taken all the instruments out of the car now too.
Otherwise, is there anyone else who can do instrument refurb/backdates ?

Re: Contacting Julian Reap
Don’t bother with REAP, you’ll be waiting forever just to get a reply, let alone your gauges back if you were to send them to him.
These guys are arguably the best in the business:

But this guy might be worth considering too:

I’ve had similar experiences with REAP , really slow turnaround ( say six months IIRC ?).

Re: Contacting Julian Reap
I had a chat with Reap and he said he has lots of work on, minimum 6 month wait for dials to be looked at.

Re: Contacting Julian Reap
Julian does a lot of work for Porsche and their dealers, so I guess that's his (rather profitable) bread and butter work...

Re: Contacting Julian Reap
Thanks all - I'll take a look at the others. Sending them out to Hollywood might be a bit pricey though !
Re: Contacting Julian Reap
I used Reap a few years ago but have heard good things about Classicautoclock.
Re: Contacting Julian Reap
In the interests of balance:
I contacted Julian a summer or two ago about my odometer gear failure. He returned my voicemail within a day or two, and we agreed a date/time for me to bring my car to him during the following week. As planned, I turned up, waited whilst he took the unit out of the car, replaced the failed gear, bench tested everything, and refitted. Had a nice chat, too.
He's a great guy - evidently busy with speedo/odometer work from many reputable UK independent specialists as well as Porsche GB too.

My experience with Julian was positive to.

And they give a 1 year warranty! Bought my JDO-refurbished 250 km/h speedo from Brian Goff and was very impressed by the quality of their work.neilbardsley wrote:JDO Instruments. Get them back in less than 2 weeks!
