    I'm looking for a set of 1935/36 Ford Speedometer & Gauges to put in my 30 Roadster. Does anyone know why some have the Ford logo and others don't? I think top one is a Stewart Warner and the bottom one is a Delco. Is that all it is?

    Also, does anyone know if stuff like this with the broken temp lead can be repaired by a gauge man? I know some of that stuff probably can't be done but not sure what.

    There used to be a man who did those like stock also with small red lights that climbed with the temp I would call Williamson's speedo they will know

    Williamson's can probably do it. They said they could redo the mechanical gauge in my '39 p/u that had the bulb cut off like the one you posted the photo of.

    The ones(speedo's) without the Ford script are 1935.There were also Waltham.None of the parts interchange.I have a oil/fuel in the cl***ifieds for sale. The temp gauge can be rebuilt by as mentioned (Williamson's in AR) and John Wolf Co in OH. Plan on at least $250 min.

    I've seen a thread here somewhere that shows how to fix that temp bulb at home. they put it in dry ice and cut it off and soldered on a known good one if I remember correctly
