I've got 2 racetech mechanical gauges that need new hoses, I've spoken with Merlin Motorsport who said you can't replace them but I thought id ask on here to see if their scrap or not.

Does anyone know of a company that can repair them or is it not worth doing ?

they can be repaired mate, speedograph richmond in nottingham did one for me, but it cost nearly as much as it would have to replace the gauge, i was given it for nothing so it was worth me doing it,
have a look on the web mate for instrument repairers in your area and get a quote

cheers nick
