I am considering fitting Old Smokey with three auxiliary meters a la Smiths; oil pressure, volt meter and a clock in the same style. Could anyone put me in the right direction of a seller?
 
These guys seem to have a decent range of Smiths gauges - not actually used them but came across them when looking for similar gauges. Went for a cheap and cheerful set from one of the kit car companies in the first instance as a trial and error set so I could work out how best to get them wired and mounted first, might upgrade to better ones as I go along to be more in keeping. The panel in the dash on my S3 had been butchered for a radio at some time so needed to re-create that and didn't ant to commit to expensive gauges until I knew I could get them all to fit etc.

Cheapies I got were similar to this, sure there are plenty of others as well.

Mine came with all the senders etc - think the whole set was less than £40. Work fine as far as I can see - can't vouch for the complete accuracfy but often you are just checking from variation to the norm anyway and these would do the job. Would still like to upgrade to the Smiths or Lucas though just foir the originality aspect but too many other classics to spend money on to justify it at the moment.

Cheers..Ian

Had mine awhile seems very reliable for the cost, used my fluke meter to calibrate.
What you going to do with the second one?
 
Yes I’m impressed, I put my meter in the Dash power sockets And trimmed to match
Not sure about 2nd one , I bought it just in case 1st one was duff , might be useful in garage when charging spare batteries

You never know when you may fit a second battery to the heap ;)
