Need anew smiths tacho
Where can I buy a new Smiths tacho in Melbourne. Good quality second hand would be ok.

Hi Bryan. I bought a MG smiths tacho for mine. It is a mechanical drive but I will be converting it to electronic. I matched it with the smiths speedo from a MK1 Cortina. MK1 and MK2 Cortina have a different shape bevell. Early Jag have smiths tacho and speedo combo. I bought mine on ebay and hot rod swap meets. Hope that helps. You can buy non smiths gauges from speedhut, GPS speedo and tacho combo.

Bryan, if you're not in a screaming hurry, you can buy direct from the manufacturers, Caerbont, in Wales, or from Nisonger in New York state. I have bought from both and both companies are extremely easy to deal with.
Can supply contacts for both if you want them. Cheers, Glen |

Got a picture of the dash Bryan? Smiths instrumented dashes aren't common in Aus. Cheers, Glen |
Hmmm - Howards must have got permission as there was a bit of a flap with Smiths after I bought my "Smiths" branded VDO's all those years ago.
They took the Smith's logos off my gauges after they went back for dial gauge rework having been badly painted. |

Ha Ha yep
Smith's lookalikes but have to admit Howard's did good work getting the printing and fonts correct. |

Speedhut makes reproductions. Factory Five uses them. I would recommend verifying that the gauge fits the existing hole.

Hi Bryan
Try the "Healey Factory" out Ringwood way, i saw some smiths gauges for sale there last time i was there, a fair while back, but they do resto work, so maybe able to help. cheers Dave |
