Wow! It looks like new. Envious of your tidy workshop, it puts my untidy mess to shame.

Absolutely stunning restoration and great images. It looks like a new one!

I'm always a bit apprehensive about sending gauges overseas. They went Royal Mail International a fully tracked service. Kept an eye on their progress and reached the point were the tacking was   updated 'with courier out for delivery'. The next update 'courier unable to locate address returning to sender' WTF. I then emailed l Giannis to advise and half an hour later re-checked the tracking, update again marked 'delivered' and shorty afterwards and email from Giannis to confirm he had them. Phew, apparently he had gone to the couriers depot and collected them. Not sure how he knew exactly where to go but he did and must have been there very quickly. So all was well after a bit of a panic.

I did rather expect a comment on both gauges being tag marked. Well it wasn't to identify the gauges it was to identify the two stainless mounting cups which of course are different. Easy enough to fit the wrong one on the wrong gauge and then find out when fitting the onto the bracket.  I think both original cups were damaged so I sent Giannis a pair marked to assist fitting.
