Wanted: Smartcraft Gauges

[Searider]

Evening all,

Due to the sun crazing the lenses of my Smartcraft gauges I'm after a pair of replacements.

Not sure of part numbers but one is the Tacho type, the other is a speedo. 2001 Optimax 150.

Anything kicking around in the garage?

They can be fixed for free with a bit of patience.

[Searider]

Any clues as to how?

It looks like the inner Perspex screen is crazed - not the outer one.

I've not investigated how they come apart though yet.

You can dismantle them and polish them with duraglit or jewellers rouge

Cheers Biffer,

Job for the winter I think!

I did a thread on it here. I will try and find it.

Here you go...

You may get a bit more condensation but you can take the gauge apart from the rear and put a silica pack inside. To be honest mine rarely mist up...
