I have just sent peter at nisonger an email and his price for a 7 gauge set was around $770 from memory. You save around 30% buying the set. Hope that helps.

Best place to purchase Smiths Gauges?
I got mine from GaugeGuys about 3 years ago there was quite a discount, they have gone up considerably in price since! My tacho is the later one that works with MSD. I found their service was excellent, as one gauge had a loose object floating inside which they replaced promptly.
Nisonger is a US distributor like Gaugeguys. CAI Instruments Wales UK are the manufacturer.

I'll put in a vote for Gaugeguys.com. I recently bought a clock from them and was very happy with the deal. Suggest you call both and consider you best offer for service and price.

i am not a big fan of the autometers-i had them in my last replica and I had a few of them break. Plus, i would like a more original look.
Nisonger has them on sale still, so i will order a set from them tomorrow before the sale expires.
Thanks

With the electronic Smiths gauges, are you guaranteed NOT to have the bouncing speedo problems which are so common with the mechanical ones?

I recently installed an electric fuel pressure gauge and voltmeter from Tom Kirkham. They look good, very close match to my other Smith gauges. Lifetime warranty.
