No one seems to make an exact diameter replacement gauge. I was looking for any ideas on making/; /html/mgb-v8/2003-07/msg00002.html (8,684 bytes)

I don't know the size of the late-model gauges (120 mm comes to mind) so any "edge" cou; /html/mgb-v8/2003-07/msg00004.html (9,464 bytes)

However, I found a place called GreenGauges, who is somehow affiliated with Smiths. They let; /html/mgb-v8/2003-07/msg00051.html (8,972 bytes)
