Our tooling is custom built, but one could use a series of thin metal blades such as a putty knife and layer them to achieve the spacing...
I don't think most speedometer shops would be interested in the unrolling and rolling of bezel for clients to service their own gauges. We don't....
You have a couple options. You can have the primary coil replaced with a 12 volt coil, but if your gauge is currently functional, most people add...
Your gauge is a V coil style AC brand magnetic gauge. There is a ground connection through the gauge to the mount plate and one through the...
Generally speaking, Stewart Warner 's quality dropped off after their buyout. In your electronic speedometer, you have two separate circuits: one...
Generally speaking, tachs with simple +/- wiring require a sender. Those that do not often have power, ground and coil designations. I cannot...
If you are 12 volt using a pulse type IVR, you can use rheostatic type senders. That is what Ford did post 1956. You may run into some calibration...
Your original gauges should be King Seeley bimetallic thermal gauges with points style sending units. There should be a fair amount of discussion...
Absolutely. It is advisable to use a solid state voltage drop rather than a resistor due to the same electrical principle stated above.
That is not necessarily true. An example would be this type of gauge made by Stewart Warner. Essentially, the 6 volt magnetic and early bimetallic...
The 6 volt bimetallic thermal SW temp gauge ohm range has been obsolete for many many years. Does your gauge say 6v on the insulator or case...
I often argue that the mechanical gauge is a more functional interface. With the electric gauges, you have two variables: sending unit calibration...
There is a "speed cup lock switch", separate from the illumination circuit, used for the above stated pointer position lock. It is essentially a...
The modern Stewart Warner gauges are configured differently than the vintage gauges, particularly the 6 volt electric. The Greenline reproduction...
The gauges are King Seeley and originally operated on the points style senders. Since you are converting to 12 volt, those senders can be replaced...
