<p class="ydp1c027286yiv7559101055MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I have a 59TR3a that will be far from original so that’s not an issue, including a TR4a engine that’s been worked.</span></p>

<p class="ydp1c027286yiv7559101055MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">We just pulled the small gage cluster to rework it. All the gages are out and will be sent to West Valley Instruments to be refurbished/rebuilt.</span></p>

<p class="ydp1c027286yiv7559101055MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I have the option of keeping the temperature gage as is (I checked and it will thread into the rebuilt engine) or having it redone as an electric gage.</span></p>

<p class="ydp1c027286yiv7559101055MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I kind of like the funny old gage with its funny old piping that goes through the engine compartment. On the other hand, electric is simpler and probably cheaper.</span></p>

<p class="ydp1c027286yiv7559101055MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Since the car has an alternator and backup lights off the TR6 OD tranny, wiring isn’t an issue.</span></p>
