Mechanical temp gauge repair?

Any known fix for a broken capillary tube on a mechanical Stewart warner temp gauge where the sender screws into the engine?

 

Capilary tubes can be replaced. I send them to a instrument repair shop like Nisonger Instrument in NY. They also will make them to a custom length. Try google for a shop closer to you.

Go to www.williamsons.com These guys repair and restore all kinds of gauges.

 

There was a hamb thread on this subject and Tom C has done one based on the thread read.
You buy a new gauge freeze it in the deep freeze and install it on the old gauge.
We can get El Tomo to give us a lesson sat morning........

 

I would like to either see that thread or lesson also.
