MG Midget and Sprite General - Where to buy chrome gauge bezels?


So I'm redoing my dash and the chrome bezels on the speedo and tacho are a bit crappy so I've decided to replace them. Where can I get some replacements from?

I checked MGOC but they don't have them. Found another place in the uk called the gauge shop but 15pounds each. Seems a bit much or is that what I should expect to pay?

It might be worth enquiring whether the seller of the 2" version also has 4"

...or, try Speedograph

Another idea...

Smiths Instruments are now made by Caerbont Automotive Instruments. Their distributor in Australia is
http://www.redlineauto.com.au/
I don't know whether they stock parts or just complete gauges.

Thanks Dave. The seller of the 2" gauge had their website of the pic in ebay so was able to go straight there. speedoheads.co.uk 3.75 for the 2" and 7.50 for the 4" so at that price I suppose I should buy a full set as it's only 22.50 for the lot so you've saved me heaps. My speedo was exactly 4" but my fuel gauge was 2 1/8" Is that size gauge called 2" or is it a bigger size?

I don't buy Midget parts from Aus because they all come form the UK and you end up paying twice as much (sometimes 3x) for the same thing.
