Smiths Dual Safety Gauge

Picture

Oil Pressure and Water Temp 
Safety Gauge

Picture
Safety gauge kit also known as Dual Gauge. Not available for decades. Correct for Land-Rover from 86-88 inch Series I, II & IIs through late series IIa in 1971. This kit contains the much sought after safety gauge with the Land-Rover logo on face. It includes all fittings necessary for fitting a gauge where none was ever supplied by the factory. We also stock Smiths gauges, which were offered as an alternative for early Land-Rovers.

Oil Pressure Gauge Fitted to Late Series IIa & III

Picture
The original gauges were a troublesome design, prone to a low-reading inaccuracy. This mechanical gauge kit eliminates the troublesome, faulty-reading gauge with our mechanical gauge and comes with the correct adapter, one for both Series IIa and Series III vehicles. None of the kits we have fitted or sold has ever required attention subsequent to fitting.

Three Vintage Heuer Dash Timers 

Set of Three vintage Heuer dash timers (one is marked "Allstate"). All are believed to be in excellent working condition and are mounted on a dash plate which is  attached to a desk display stand. Meticulously timed and adjusted over the last 6 months with the 12-hour clock keeping nearly flawless time continually and both interval timers also synchronised nearly perfectly.  The group of three timers weighs 1 pound 11 1/2 ounces. The left clock is new or as-new and the mounting plate was made by my in-house machinist. I am not a specialist on these timers but please ask me any questions you may have. The cases, crowns & backplate are in excellent condition, with absolutely minimal wear and no visible, or known, damage.  The crystals, dials, hands & bezels are all in fine although not flawless condition. Any signs of wear should be considered the byproducts of gentle, careful usage.
