Neil Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 My fuel gauge recently packed up and using the online MGA based guide I found referenced in an earlier post, I took it apart and found the coil resistances were all lower than they should be should be and not in proportion. I was on the look out for one at Stoneleigh, but didn't find one. I met a helpful chap who recommended that I get it repaired by 'Vintage Instruments' (he couldn't remember their location or any other details). I've searched the web, but haven't found them. Does anybody else know them, or alternatively could recommend a repairer? Many thanks Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gjfoote Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Hi Neil, Its a long story! but last year I had reason to have my temperature gauge repaired. After ringing around a few places I sent it to Speedy Cables, based in South Wales ( even though they are called Speedy Cables(London) Ltd). They we very good - quite reasonably priced, the gauge came back like new, nicely cleaned as well as repaired. Im pretty sure they do all types of gauges and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Should find them on the web OK. I also think the TR Shop in London do refurbished instruments on an exchange basis. Hope this helps. Cheers Graham Edited March 5, 2007 by gjfoote Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes, TR Shop do do re-conditioned 2-3a fuel gauges on an exchange basis, or also on outright sale I believe. I got an exchange one through them at Stoneleigh and was charged £58.16 inc Vat. Several years ago I had my TR4 speedo and rev counter reconditioned by Speedograph Richfield at Nottingham. I assume they are still there and that this would be another option for you. Trevor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodri Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't know if Vintage Restorations of Tunbridge Wells are still in business, but I read of a person who waited nine years for them to repair an MGB speedo ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
67_gt6 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 http://www.speedycables.com/ - recommended, when I had my GT6 they went to a lot of effort to correctly colour match the needle on the combined oil/water gauge I'd ordered to my existing instruments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
