I recently bought a dash panel for my planned special and I am trying to sort out some instruments for it. I wish to make a clock and re-house an ammeter to fit the cut outs. One is 2.5" diameter (Ruby speedometer size) and the other is 3.25".
Does anyone have any spare cases or broken instruments in these sizes which they wish to sell? The condition is unimportant as I can refurbish them, fit new bezels and fabricate dials.
Regards,
Jamie.

No luck so far Jamie it seems.
I answer to put it on top! One never knows?

Thank you, Renaud.
I have been offered two smaller dials, which are much appreciated and will be a great help.
However, I am still looking for a larger one, a 3.25" dial case. I am not at all concerned about the state or even existence of the innards as I just want to use the case, bezel and glass.
Regards,
Jamie.

That is Smiths PA size, isn't it?
There must be lots of dead ones of those around, or the clock that matches it.

Perhaps send a direct message to Tony Betts in case he hasn't looked at this thread?
