[Mgs] water temp/oil pressure gage

[Max Heim]

(Sorry, Paul, I meant to reply to the list)

I just recalled… when I had to send my combo gauge out for repair, I bought a cheap plastic temp gauge at the auto parts store to install temporarily. I suppose you could do that for both, although you would have to find someplace to mount one of them.

If so then he definitely needs both gauges from the outset, but these could be separates if cheaper until he gets a dual gauge and has that rebuilt.  You can test 'untested' yourself but if either section doesn't work you would have to get it rebuilt before using the car instead of 'at some point'.  The temp section is the most likely to be faulty, especially if removal from the donor car was not done with care.

We are looking for one that works; don’t care at all what it looks like as long as it works.  Anyone have an old gage around they would be willing to sell?
