Ttotired Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hard to answer without knowing what its for, but you will find (if its an original your after) that they are all model specific (might go for a few years on the early ones, 30s, 40s) Thing is, they are sealed with mercury inside (from memory) at a specific amount, so if it broke, you will be lucky to get it repaired Being in Australia, most of this sort of stuff for me means a daily troll of ebay until something turns up and if its old, then you grab whatever comes up quick before someone else does You have to be a vulture If its an aftermarket one, then it might be easier Good luck with your search Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dix40 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I needed mine rebuilt also. checked Hemmings (services) and was told they don't do filled sensors. But they did give me the name of a shop that does do it. My gauges are there now and he hasn't started them yet. So I am reluctant to recommend until i get them back. If you send me private email, I will give you the info. dixchief@gmail.comDick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dbalfisto Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 NAPA sells a generic guage. 10 years ago I used th process Todd (Ply33) outlined matching the new bulb to my vintage guage It went flawlessly, I then checked accuracy with hot water and a candy thermometer as a reference, it was within 5%. I was extremely pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
