Eric,
I purchased a "Jaeger" voltmeter from Rick at Sunbeam Specialties a few
months back. I believe it's a reproduction or stylized version of what a
Jaeger voltmeter would look like. The workmanship is not bad although the
silk-screening of the gauge face is not as crisp as the originals. At any
rate, it's a nice, functional piece that works well in the dash. I believe
the cost was $75 and I'm sure Rick could fill you in on the details
regarding the manufacturer, etc. There are a couple shots of the gauge
visible in the article I wrote for the Tigers United site. If you would
like a more detailed shot, let me know and I'll email you directly.

Has anyone every seen a British Jaeger Voltmeter that looks like the other
gauges in a Tiger?
I contacted Nissonger and they would be very happy to sell me a Lucas
ammeter but were no help in my quest for a Voltmeter.
