Akstraw Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Vintageandclassicreproductions.com in Australia does some very nice stainless steel door handles. Sturdy, well-crafted, and much more durable than pot metal originals. They may have something for you.

John_Mereness Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 he king seeley gauge is nothing but a barrel full of problems - you can put a piece of colored plastic paper in front out it or in it (or drop in a piece of colored ribbon or ... and just make do. Sometimes someone has an original gauge that has not yet turned to dust - though chance of getting that to work is not high. They are reproduced though not cheap - https://straight-eight.com/ (and you can get them to work for a limited time period). The original fluid was corrosive and the die cast is at the end of its life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Great topic, you have come a log way and still have a long way to go, but that is ok. I hope it inspires others to take on the tasks of a restoration - it requires a lot of patience but will also give a great deal of satisfaction.
