#1 Fuel gauge restoration company?

Post by Polse7317 » Mon May 26, 2025 9:57 am

Hi all, it's not for my Etype but for my xk140 FHC which is in "process" .I am refurbishing the fuel gauge with a swap from a 150 one to fit in the casing of the 140 one which is different. I have checked all wires, soldered all the very thin wiring but i am blocked when i must calibrate....! even with many different resistors to mimic the fuel sender.
So where can i send that gauge for calibration ?

I have an answer today about RICHFIELD : they can refurbish and calibrate the fuel gauge as they do on speedo!
Even it's a very different magnetic adjustment skill :thumbsup:

I used Richfield, previously I had used speedy cables, thought I’d give Richfield a try main reason considerably cheaper if I’m honest.. the quality was a country mile NOT as good as speedy cables in every department.
Pay your money make your choices, for me I’d only ever go back to speedy cables, turn around slow, expensive but quality unsurpassed imo.
Previously...S1 OTS E type (sold)
S1 2+2 manual. (Sold)
S2 rhd OTS full resto finished 8/23
S1 3.8 coupe (full restoration now sold)
