Not So Speedy Gauge Refurbishment

[petepetrolhead]

Does anyone have (good) experience of a gauge refurbishment company who are a bit quicker than Speedy Cables? I want to get a set of second hand ancillary gauges refurbed and Speedy cables have quoted 5 to 6 weeks, which isn't speedy enough!

Plus they will take longer. I was quoted 4 weeks but it took over 10. I have no complains over their price or workman ship but I wish they were a little speedier.

I wouldn't touch them with a stty stick, they fked my speedo up 3 times

Whilst not speedy i had an oil gauge made by them and an SPA digital gauge bezel changed to aluminium so no complaints other than took a bit longer then it should have.

Ian, Neil, thanks for your suggestions - will give those guys a ring and see what they say.

Speedograph have been around for years and will make anything cable related from patterns. Also very good with gauges.

As it happens, I did go to Alan Davis. I was very happy with his work, and I thought his prices were very reasonable. The only downside was that it took a lot longer than originally estimated - 2 weeks ended up as 2 months. However, I'd definitely go to him again.
