Gauge servicing / repairs

[66Traveller]

Has anybody got any good recommendations for specialists to overhaul / repair automotive instruments? I used to use Speedy Cables but they are very slow nowadays (if indeed they ever reply to an enquiry....).

What type of gauge?

I use JDO instruments, but they don't do capillary tubed gauges.

We've used Speedograph Ltd to recalibrate and refresh the speedo on my dad's MGA. It needed recalibrating because we changed the FD in the diff. They did a great job, completely accurate now and it came back looking fresh and new but not overrestored.

Try caerbont automotive

I didn't know that Caerbont did repairs & restorations.

The only time I spoke to them was regarding a repair to one of their new stepper motor rev counters & they were most unhelpful.

I have dealt with a bloke, Aiden I think, and found him excellent.
I was actually thinking that they would know who to recommend, although it will probably be Speedy.

They are what Speedy Cables is now called - I've found them very difficult to deal with - slow, unresponsive. They never respond to enquiries. So for me - "anybody other than Caerbont..."

Another vote for JDO, although I think John has retired, the business is still going. Alternatively Howard Instruments in Melbourne.

another vote for Speedograph.. did exactly the same job for me and will refresh/restore as much or little as you want.... turnaround was pretty quick too..
