        <title>1959 MGA Gauges</title>
        <description> After owning car since 1977 I just realized I have 3 Jaeger gauges and the oil pressure/ temp gauge is a Smiths. 
Any thoughts?


Car is now resting in NC after attending MG 2012 for the B's but we had 2 other A coupes in the car show.

            <description><![CDATA[ The needles will come off using spoons, the gauge face on the Jaeger seems to be an integral part of the lighting collar/lens support. Nothing too difficult there, a swap over ought to be straight forward in case you find that you can no longer live with the difference.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Not sure of all the details, but at some point Jaeger was swallowed up by Smiths (?) - merged? - and the Jaeger name was dropped.  <br />
<br />
You can get the exact same item as a repro, but it will say &quot;Smiths&quot; so I don't even think you should lose concours points for this.<br />
<br />
Maybe someone with a busted Jaeger unit can sell you theirs and you can take the face off of it to &quot;correct&quot; yours.<br />
<br />
I think the switch was post-MGA production, so the original gauges for all our cars would or should have said &quot;Jaeger&quot;.<br />
<br />
If I am wrong here, I hope someone more knowledgeable will correct me.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ The Jaegers are likely original to the car, or at least the period.  The Smiths is a replacement, probably from MOSS, VB or other aftermarket supplier.  I also went that route, but then bought a used Jaeger from a fellow Forum-ite.]]></description>
