Ron,

My car wont look anything like an original in a lot of areas, but I am a stickler for period looking gauges and knock off wheels, I used to own the odd race car with tell tale Smiths tacho and genuine McLaren wheels etc so it started a way back when I was young and impressionable years ago!

Hey anyone can fit what they like and the last thing I would do is impose my tastes on others, but I guess it creates healthy discussion on the forum. I have just ordered a set of Smiths with the electronic telemetrix pickup Speedometer, as I will have a transmission without a speedo takeoff of any kind. The Autometer set or speedo that I had was of no use to me!

I have heard that Smiths can be unreliable so I dont know whether thats the new Caerbont UK stuff or just Smiths in general, I would emagine that VDO would be very reliable though.
