ferrettkitt Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've used speedograph before for a speedo cable I wasn't unhappy with the result. http://www.speedograph-richfield.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carruthers Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks Clive/Andy for your help. After posting, and thinking that Speedograph may be in pole position for my business, i found a place called the Gauge shop which used original Smiths calibration gear etc. Rang the guy up and had a really encouraging phone call, so i will call speedy cables and speedograph and make a decision, and then will post about the results. cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I met a man at Beaulieu Autojumble a couple of years ago who said he could repair my Fuel Gauge. I never got round to contacting him back, but his details are :- Adrian Sidwell, PO Box 1576, Gillingham, Dorset SP8 5WZ email is adrian@sidwellassoc.freeserve.co.uk As it's in Dorset, does Jack know him?

listerdiesel Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Caerbont Automotive Instruments http://www.caigauge.com/ Might not do repairs, but they are what is left of the original Smith Industries instrument business.

Rick W Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I used speedy cables before. Very good, though bloody expensive, price depends on type of guage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Crosbie Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I recently asked Caerbont if they could repair an old Smiths instrument, and they recommended this company: Speedy Cables Ltd Abercrave Swansea SA9 1SQ Tel: 01639 732213 Fax: 01639 732238 As they took a little while to reply to me, I got impatient and managed to fix the gauge myself, so I have not yet tried Speedy and can't therefore comment on their service.

JoelH Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 A very interesting topic, dials of this age are normally radioactive so if you are looking to repair it yourself then that may be somthing you wish to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi Gang, I used the gaugeshop, all one word and the guy there couldn't have been more helpful. Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
