The jewel for the ignition light is broken off where the retaining washer meets the back of the tach face. Does anyone know where I can get parts for a Smith Tach (MGA) or have advice on how to repair the jewel.

Can I replace the indicator light and jewel with an LED? How (resistors etc)?

I think I have the jewel you need...I got it in a grab bag of electrical parts on Ebay a while ago. You would be welcome to it if I could find it. I will look this weekend...but agree with the others here. I repaired mine with Crazy Glue two years ago and it has been fine since.
