Set of Cheap/ Dead Gauges wanted
Hello.
I'm after a set of mega cheap or dead gauges to trasfer some OE internals into.
As they are getting the new internals, they don't need to work, intact glass is preferable but not esential. Appearance is also not too
important.
I'm after 3 50mm ish diameter and 2 100mm ish diameter.
What have you? Full/partial sets, or individuals considered but must be mega cheap cheap.
Thanks very much.

THese are brand new, don't know if they are any good for your purpose though. I can take more pictures if you are interested.

Best of luck mate! I did my speedo from the square sierra clocks and it was a proper swine, although you may me luckier but I had to move the trip up
a bit and make a new plastic glass but bow it out a bit to clear the needle. Please with the result although have bowed the glass a touch too much
but probably not worth the effort in time versus buying a new one.
Just a few things to measure up mate!
Cheers
Rich

L0rd, how much you after???
Richard K, having had a quick try on an old Smiths gauge it might need a bit of tweeking. tacho and speed should be fine as they are fairly
compact.
It's for MX5 gauges as it seems the current Smiths don't want to work, and this is the best way to make sure they do. Hopefully.
Thanks for the help.

Thankfully it's already registered so no IVA.
It's had an engine change and the Smiths gauges don't seem to want to work too easilly with the MX5 engine.

I think we're OK now. It turns out there was apower issue, so know they all move, just need some tweeking. If it turns out it doesn't work
i'll be in touch.
Thanks.
