My Smiths voltmeter came from (IIRC) a Triumph that was being parted out. =
The trim ring was painted black, but the paint came off easily and it polis=
hed up nice. I opened it up and painted the pointer orange to match. I in=
stalled it in the clock hole, using a clock blockoff trim ring to adapt it =
to the larger hole size.
DO NOT mess with what look like adjusting screws. You will never get it ba=
ck in calibration.

Here's the gauge that fried. Unfortunately, I broke off the needle taking t=
he thing apart to see if it could be repaired. I think I'll use this as a h=
ost for a Voltmeter conversion, since I'm not excited about all the power r=
unning through a gauge in the dash anyway. When the shunt opened, the car l=
ost all power at 70 mph in the left lane of the freeway. No more engine, no=
more turn signals, brake lights, anything. Quite exciting. Has anyone conv=
erted one of these, or do you just buy an aftermarket voltmeter and install=
it. I kind of like the idea of it at least appearing factory.

Answered my own question: After WWI, the British subsidiary (British Jaege=
r) of Jaeger of Paris secured the manufacturing rights to the chronometric =
mechanism and manufactured these very reliable chronometric mechanisms at a=
factory at Willesden. In 1927 British Jaeger was purchased by Smiths Indus=
tries Limited.

All the standard spec gauges are british jaeger. The optional clock was smi=
ths and the ammeter lucas. The lighter was a casco.
