Missing speedo and fuel gauge for BJ7

I took the speedometer and fuel gauge into a local shop a year ago last Spring for checking/rebuilding, and they haven't been see since. The local chap advises that he shipped my two gauges plus a number of his own MGA gauges off at the same time to a Stateside instrument rebuilder, but that rebuilder advises that they don't have them.
Two questions: anyone, somehow, end up with an extra tach/fuel gauge (I'm thinking perhaps a shippig mixup) for a BJ7 (black letters on a gold/pewter looking background; odometer will show about 54000 miles); and, if they never show up, has anyone got spares for sale?
Thanks,
Doug
 
I have a few extra gauges, but they'd almost certainly have to be rebuilt (I use Nisonger, in New York).

If you can't find any, let me know and I'll dig them out and get some pictures for you.
 
Think I've got 3or4 Speedo's&Tach's,couple fuel gauges. I'll look today in my shop, PM me if interested. Wrked when removed,can check them. cheers Genos2
 
Thanks guys - I'll keep my fingers crossed for a few more months, then PM you - and having gauges that can be rebuilt is a lot better than no gauges at all.
FYI, AH Spares in Jolly Olde lists: BJ7 Speedo: exchange 73.50 pounds ($ 120.33 Cdn); outright 183.50 pounds ($ 300.55 Cdn); BJ7 Fuel Gauge: exchange 59.50 pounds ($ 97.45 Cdn); outright 165 pounds ( $270 Cdn); 1 Cdn dollar equals 97.4 US cents. About a month back, the British pound was about $ 1.45 Cdn; now it's $ 1.65 Cdn...
