*New range of Chronoelectric Tachometers*		Smiths 60mm Quartz Clocks

These electric stepping motor tachometers are available in 8400rpm, 10400rpm & 12400rpm They come with or without maximum rpm recall. We have a 40 year association with Smiths and have the best range of New Smiths Instruments in Australia. We specialise in the restoration of Smiths and Jaeger Instruments.		If you have a 50's or 60's car with a 60mm clock chances are it has stopped working at least once in its life. Unless it has been transistorised, there is little hope of it working and even then it will not be as reliable as one of these Quartz versions.

VDO have released a cruise control that can be easily installed to a range of over 100 modern vehicles. The kits are designed to be primarily plug and play . Many of the applicable vehicles have a factory stalk option. You can elect to install it yourself or we can install it for you. If your car or truck is not listed please call

Dials					Digital Odometer Resets
We screen print traditional flood lit dials and modern back lit dials. We also screen print on glass and vinyl in a wide range of colours including metallics and fluorescents. We can change scales, colours, fonts and logos to suit your needs. We supply our products to VDO, Elfin Sports Cars and other manufacturer's along with many individual enthusiasts. Our library of dials is always increasing.					We can reset most Digital Odometers. In all cases we require a Statutory Declaration from Individuals or a trade order from businesses In some cases we require the vehicle. Please select your vehicle from the repairs and restoration section to see what we require in your case.

Display and Backlight Repairs			Calibration & Speedometer Testing
Many instrument clusters and information displays from the past 15 years suffer from missing pixels or complete displays. Backlighting failure and flickering is also common.			We provide a data logged and documented speedometer testing service. We resolve speedometer calibration and other instrument calibration issues. We use electronic and mechanical interfaces or calibrate the instrument itself.

Repairs and Restorations

Speedometer, tachometer, gauge, sender repair, restoration and re-manufacture from the early 1900's through to current models are the cornerstone of our business.

A day at work at Howard Instruments does not lack variety!

We cover the range of Speedometer, Tachometer and Gauge types including: Chronometric, Shallow Mag, Nemag, AT and Stepping Motor Speedo's & Tacho's. Moving coil, bi-metal, cross coil, stepping motor, capillary temperature and Borden tube pressure gauges.

In basic terms we repair almost anything with a dial and the items that supply it information.

We repair and manufacture cables, ratio boxes and angle drives to sample or specification.

There are also very few fuel senders from the past 100 years that we cannot repair or offer a replacement for. We now have interface modules available to match you sender to your gauge.

We service Halda Tripmaster, Twinmaster and Speedpilot.We have X Gears Y Gears and T Gears and Cables.
