I suppose MG Midget would be your best bet.

Don't know exactly but anything engine and drivetrain is shared so things like gauges are easily adapted.
This website will give you part nos and prices for Midget stuff

You could try 'TIM' gauges on ebay. Pretty much everything there. Not as pretty as old smith gauges but they are good. Mechanical (capillary) temp gauge and mechanical oil pressure (with tube) are suitable. 2.5inch diameter. Electric Rev counter too.
These smaller gauges can be mounted under dash.

The TIM gauges look awful - and completely out of place in a Minor - stick with Smiths or Lucas 'period' gauges.......
