[Healeys] Smith's Temp Gauge

[Charlie Schott]

Steve,

Thanks for the reply on adjusting the temperature gauge. Unfortunately, on 
mine the mounting nut was frozen to the sensor so I applied heat to expand 
and, subsequently, loosen it. Now the needle is pegged at 230 degrees. Did I 
ruin the gauge or is there something that can be done to salvage it? Thanks.

Regards,

Charlie Schott

Bob, I calibrated my gauge just as Kees recommends:  I found it reading 10
degrees too high (kind of explains my "overheating" problem).  Putting the
needle back on so that it was exactly between the two dots at 212 deg.
while the sensor was immersed in boiling water fixed it.

Anyone got info on how to calibrate the Smiths temp gauge?  I know about
immersing in boiling water, etc., but I think there might be a couple screws
or a wire to bend or something.
