Hello,
I have just got my 80mm smiths classic tacho back from being rebuilt. It has a 90mm bezel and I am now after a mounting bracket that would allow me to place it on the dash in line with the steering column. Any idea where I could find one. I got the gauge from ebay. Manly Auto Instrument Repair fixed it for me and did a A++++++ job if anyone needs stuff done. Great work and cheap too.
Cheers
Dave

Well... I bought my first mini recently and finally picked it up tonight and upon reading this topic i went and took a pic for you... this is how the Smiths tacho is mounted on the dash of my car. Is that the kind of thing you're after?

LOL... the red dash is VERY distinctive isn't it? :shock: :D

It is my car now... yesterday it was owned by someone else. ;)

I picked it up from the seller tonight at 7:30pm. It's my weekend car. :)

I live in Brighton East. Apparently the owner before the Seaford one also lived in Brighton East... I never noticed it driving round my hood but he had it for 10 years. I think it was in workshops for a lot of that time. :P

Mini Sport (the Australian one that trades on Ebay) have a chrome pod for the classic tacho listed on Ebay for 30 odd dollars, which unlike most their products is actualy a reasonable price.
