Hello,

I had a couple of my smith gauges re-built years ago.
I went to a local shop (outside Washington DC) called
Motorhead (great folks!) and they had some place up in NY
(i think) that does rebuilds. I can ask them the name of the company
if you'd like.

But maybe here are some other places to check....

Smiths Gauges!

Autometer
Aftermarket gauges; the only company that makes speedos and tachs in
a size to match the stock TR6 units, with matching smaller units.

or there is always Ebay! But it would be super swell if you could rebuild 
the one you have.
