Jonny Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Have an old Smiths guage off my bike, its pretty rough but it can be saved, remember someone on here saying something about getting them sorted out. How far can they go? As in Chrome, glass, cleaning up faces and clocks? And what sort of places should i be looking for to do this sort of work?

Glancn Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey. I went into a place here in Auckland in the Eden Terrace/Newton area who specialise in gauges especially Smiths and VDO. I'll do a drive by today and get their number if you're interested and give the guy a buzz. Looked to me the both sell and repair/make custom gauges.

thminiman Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 perhaps some cunt could move that place into the reccomended stores/workshops thread, seems to be a common thing people on here are wanting these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Might need to get them to recalibrate the sedan's speedo, it reads 20km/h faster than the actual speed and I don't think it's anything to do with my tyres. ended up ripping the little 105km/h dinger out of the centre console in the end, it was just too painful to bear >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
