I found another place called Cai Instruments that sells Smiths gauges here
in the U.S. They are based in Lancaster PA. Their URL is
http://www.caiinstruments.com/. The URL for XKs Unlimited is
http://www.xks.com/new/racing.html .

The only U.S. Distributor (according to them) for Smiths Instruments is
XK's Unlimited (800) 444-5247.
They have a great catalog. I requested it from their web site but I
can't remember their URL.
