WANTED: Smiths Rev Counter — 2 inch

#1 Post by James »

I'm looking for a small Smiths rev counter — I know they exist because I've seen one before.

Anyone happen to have one?

I think this is about the smallest you can get - don't know where you'll buy an original one though, this one came from an auto jumble. Might be worth trying Demon Tweaks, Holden or Europa Car Spares for new versions.

Like David I am sure Smiths never did one this small ....... however I did have a small one of some make or other many many years ago in my spare 'instruments box'. Just keep your fingers crossed that it is still there ........ and that it will work!

I've seen a Smiths one before for sure — so I know they exist.

I have seen you can get other makes — I just fancy a Smiths so it looks right.

The other option is a Mini sized one — not sure I've seen a 6 pot one though.
