Chris Coon Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My father-in-law's Franklin oil pressure gauge is leaking oil. I removed the gauge from the dash to inspect. It is a Hancock ON/OFF gauge that is soldered together. Does anyone have a thought on repair procedure or are there any replacements out there? The brass case was painted black.Thanks,Chris<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If you can determine the area where it is leaking, it seems as if you could solder that back up. I would just be a little careful and take it apart as much as you can to make sure that there is nothing that can be damaged. Good luck. Looks like an interestingpiece of equipment.

unimogjohn Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Might want to contact one of the gauge restoration specialists like Bob's Speedometer. But there are lots of them around that do excellent work. But again, they are not cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
