Engine Instruments

[dave_bainbridge]

Hi everyone,
I am upgrading the instrument panel on our 1935 trawler. We are having difficulty finding a supplier of suitable instruments. Any ideas anyone? (And yes, the boat is gaff rigged /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
Thanks
Dave

If it's the engine control instruments, mostly these are automotive anyway. Try these guys (hoping I can post URLs here......)

http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/

They do Smiths instruments and similar.

For things like log repeaters etc maybe an ad on the "Wanted" board here?

Yes I am referring to engine instruments rather than navigational instruments. Thanks for the link ...

You could try http://www.bpsc-marine.co.uk/ Any dealings I have had with them I have been very pleased with.

Try ASAP supplies - they have a full range or eBay, usually lots on ebay.

ASAP is good because you can get the correct matching of gauges and sensors (or senders).
I have just emerged from a muddle on that one .The problem is that there are American and European senders but the fact that the gauge reads in Bar doesn't always mean that its European and vice versa with PSI. They have about twenty different gauge styles so you should get something to your taste.
No connection just happy to recommend
