Darius Stefan Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hi! Are there any alternatives to a temp gauge besides the common additional gauge fitted outside of the main cluster? Anything out there that I can fit in the original gauge cluster slot? Willing to take tips on fixing the original unit too if there's no such thing as original style alternatives. Any guidance for a rookie would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The original part number is 1510491. They come up on Ebay every now and then. There is a similar one on Ebay, probably from a few years later, at the moment that looks like it would work, but you would probably want to swap out the gauge background from your original gauge so the gauge face would be the right color. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224470992411?fits=Year%3A1937|Make%3ABuick&hash=item344383861b:g:n4oAAOSw~llgqZhj&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0PD3GN5ogPyiGqU73Yvd4F85cIOWf5HWJG9rytQzqFCOsca9DqX0C17rQlMALURd1HBlRyOrTPaiIfKqrkQBpJwnOTKvr3YGk84IOow6kLtAeCI1kPOS%2BOVKXvrP%2BwVF5usa%2BhTi3mTAWVhJzfohJlP0PyEH07Z06nv%2BOxHCMmQnFcTG0s36zTHiO6eI4i4%2BkaMe698j%2F2kozCX8OQ56myEEYkQ685KZXr8yt%2FvdcgITj17fkNBNa7ojP4IaQGvUYq4uUIif6GoFjLgH58yH96g%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7ju44yqYg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37_Roadmaster_C Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 There are people/businesses that repair the old mechanical temperature gauges. I have no names or recommendations, but a Google search for "mechanical temperature gauge repair" should find answers. There are probably some in the UK also.

Gary W Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 When I did my '37, I sent all my gauges out to Bob's. Very nice workmanship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
