Answer
Clive, I don't know of anyone who reconditions these meters. There is a place in San Diego that is good about repairing them, but it is a small shop and they don't really restore the faces, other than spray some Armor-all on them, from what I hear. Watch Ebay auctions. I knew a guy in Florida who had a list of 400F parts for sale a few years ago. May have had the indicator panel in the list.
I use www.westernhillshonda.com as a source, but their online database is being updated temporarily.

I don't know if they used the same instruments on the UK versions as they did here... in the above link.

Try www.cmsnl.com and sometimes www.olypen.com/retro has odds and ends for them.
