Oil temp/water temp

[Bigdog]

Can you get fittings that would go onto the back of the oil temp and water temp so I can get it wired,picture for attention, thanks

Wired? Look like old style bourbon tube gauges or similar. Tubes, not sure how you could wire if you tried. Been cut, thus are near scrap. But... save your gauge facias. Forget part-number idiocy, find  either BT (10V) or TC (12V) format electrical gauges with matched senders from pretty much anything Austin to Rolls to MG, Triumph & Rover, blah 60s or 70s. Standard Smiths segment gauges. Got mine via  a Humber Snipe, a Hillman Minx and an Austin 110. Buy via the fool number and you'll pay 4-5 times the price for the same gauge, or it'll be NLA. Whereas the more obscure the 'source car', the cheaper and easier to locate its segment gauge.

Bung your 'Standard Vanguard or whatever' segment gauge in with the salvaged fascias and have it done.

I notice the 'Gentleman's guide to Gauges' is now found in this parish.

I'm in the process of fitting a temp segment from a hillman. Had to modify the holder as this gauge is a screw fit, rather than clamping but easy enough to do. Also had to paint the orange pointer white and add some black to replicate the arrowhead of the other gauges.

The faceplate was the nicest I could find to match the others.

This is a BT type so requires a stabiliser and approximate sender.

The 'gentleman's guides' have been really useful identifying various parts

I just need to try and get connectors fitted somehow

These are not wires, they are pipes, the temp one has a bulb attached and is sealed.
There is a guy who repairs such things, forgot his name at the minute.

Hi Paul, yes that's the bits I need sorted, if you find his name it would be much appreciated, thanks

This is the company I was thinking about.

Perfect, thanks

If no joy, the LRSOC supply the oil/water gauge. (Your pic confused people!)

Only the oil-feed pipe is easily detachable from the gauge, which always comes as a unit with the water capilliary wire fitted.

I get the idea JonB is at the same trick. And why ever not?

Jumping thru' hoops, thus others won't have to, I wrote an expansive reply on what to do and how, in this thread and before. This because I've been there. This is a £250 - £300 part number fix...  or £25-30 and quicker /easier if you go generic.

Indeed, £12 off eBay, bought for the face style rather than easy fit though 😇
