My vote would be to replace the temperature gauge with an electronic one,
if you can find one that looks consistent with the other gauges in the
cluster.

The old-style gauge is expensive to repair and complicates working on the
cluster.

This is why I=E2=80=99m going with AutoMeter.  Very similar looking =

Rye, which gauge did you find that fits your TR3 and looks consistent with
the others? AutoMeter has a lot to choose from!

I emailed that too quickly.  I logged on to AutoMeter with my account =
and found the order from 2019, so I=E2=80=99d imagine the prices have =
gone up.

I have a 2 gauge bracket I bought from AutoMeter where I=E2=80=99m =
running the original fuel gauge and amp gauge.
