My odometer didn't work so I sent the speedo off to ETB Instruments ( http://www.etbinstruments.com/ ). Within 2 weeks I've recd it back all fixed. Better than that, while they had it they've straightened the face which was warped and put a new bezel on it (which was chewed up where someone had opened it up in the past). The price for all this craftmanship and attention to detail - £60 inc. VAT and return postage.

To say I'm pleased is an understatement;



BTW - whilst these style gauges are referred to as ETB the chap there was keen to point out that ETB didn't actually make them. They were made by another company that went bust in the mid-90's. Following that ETB bought the remaining stock and holds the spares.

Totally agree with this post. Had to send my odometer to them a couple of years ago. Far far better service and a quick turn around and further more very reasonable pricing... Unlike some 'quick' companies that deal with odometers. The clue is in 'quick'

Yes, I was quoted 6 weeks MINIMUM turn-round by that other 'rapid' company that also makes 'small bound wire rope';)
