vintage gauges

[es285]

I am looking for Smith Oil Pressure and water Temperature gauges for my Titan Mk 6. Anyone have for sale?
Thanks Ed

Call MO MA @ 505-766-6661 in Albuquerque. They rebuild the Smith gauges for the vintage cars I work on.

You might ask about having the guages customized. A friend had his where the split guage was Oil Prss and Oil temp. Then had a separate guage for Water temp. It seems like the better setup.

Ed,

I have a Smiths dual gauge, mechanical oil pressure and water temp. Worked when I took it off the car, been sitting on a shelf for 6 years or so. Make me an offer (12 pack of micro brew?) and pay the shipping.

Smiths instruments are still available new.
Here it is as expensive to service a gauge as it is to buy a new, it might not be worth it to repair them.

AS memory serves, brand new Smiths gauges are available - I think they are rebadged Racetech.

New, used, reconditioned. Test the gauges before installation with a known temperature/pressure source. I have bought new Smiths gauges, installed them and discovered the temperature read 10 deg. C low and the oil pressure read 15 PSIG Low!

I have had better luck with reconditioned gauges from Palo Alto Speedometer. The pressure gauge was within 1 PSIG, and the temp gauge was within 3 deg. C.
