[Healeys] Adjusting temp gauge accuracy

[Oudesluys]

If it is a constant 25-30 degrees of you can lift of the needle and 
reposition it on the spindle.
To do so remove the entire assembly from the car, taking great care with 
the capillary tube, remove bezel and glass, and then lift of the 
hand/needle/pointer with two small screwdrivers under the centre and 
resting on the rim of the gauge. Insert the bulb at the end of the 
capillary tube in boiling water leave it for a few minutes and then 
reposition the needle pointing to 100 degrees C or 212 degrees F and 
press down.

It the deviation is not constant you may have to adjust the small U 
shaped section between the bourdon spring and gear.
