Replacement GREY Smiths Faces or Decals ?
« on: 16.06. 2017 10:29 »
Hi, where can I get replacement GREY face for a Smiths BSA type GREY tachometer? Used to see these around, even as decals/stickers, to enable restoration...plenty of Chronometric faces on eBay but no GREY  ...  sending my whole instrument to UK would be too costly...

Hi
You could try http://www.classicbezels.com/ but he is away till July 3
Have you asked http://www.chronometricspeedos.co.uk/ if they will send you a replacement?

Send an email to Russell at www.chronometrics.co.uk, I've dealt with him a few times and will help save on postage.

Hi Guys, I've been down this path just last week. The chronometrics place (http://www.chronometrics.co.uk/ ) is very good for chrono speedos and tachos and I have used them with excellent results for that type of speedo.  If you ask them about the grey-faced magnetic devices they will refer you to their friends at
