I think the price to rebuild my TR3 temp gauge including replacing the capi=
llary tube was close to $300 ten years ago. I replaced all my small gauges=
with AutoMeter electric gauges for about the same price or less. They loo=
k very similar to the original units and have beveled glass but with orange=
needles. =20
A TR4 t-stat housing will work if you can't find a TR3 unit. They are slig=
htly different in appearance. I think the TR4 housing is die cast, might b=
e pot metal and TR3 looks sand cast and is aluminum. I believe TR4s had an=
electrical temp gauge that is otherwise exactly like a TR3. =20
