     While we encourage all competent attempts toward self-sufficiency, gauge
rebuilding and calibrating may best be accomplished by the experienced
specialist.
For over 18 years we have sent our gauges to Smiths official rebuilder in the
US.  Gauges can be sent through us or directly to Nisonger Instruments in NY
(914) 381-1952.  We warranty all our parts and repairs for one year.

     Also make sure that the wiring to the gauge is proper; on cable-driven
tachs check the cable, its routing and the tachdrive.  Tighten the cable by
hand on tachdrives.

Have fun,
