    Hi,

    I've got a set of original SW green line gauges.
    There is one gauge I am not sure of if they done these, which is a 2 5/8 Fuel Pressure gauge.
    Would anyone know if SW ever made these (as a green line)?

    Cheers, Matt

    Just to be sure, when you say green line you mean the ones like so, right?

    I've seen a couple used ones on ebay from time to time and they are now making them again. Summit racing sells them. I've been looking for a decent used speedometer for a while but they are pricey.

    These ones were in my coupe when I bought it. I know they date the car to late 60's but I love the look of them and had to keep them.

    Thanks Nocero, however I know about the speedometer. I am wondering if anyone knows about a 2 5/8 Fuel Pressure gauge.
    I like the look of them as well and got a set of original SW green lines as well. I am still after a fuel pressure gauge, but don't know if they exist!

    I have never seen a large fuel pressure. I have seen a smaller fuel pressure. And I have definitely come across a lot of green lines in my relentless pursuit of twin blues!

    Titus, those are fantastic!
    I am lucky to have collected most of the gauges as well, in mint condition. The only two I haven't got is the Fuel Pressure gauge, and I know of someone who has got a Cylinder Head one, which I don't have. By the way, if you ever want to get rid of your Fuel Pressure gauge, I got a brilliant home for it to go to!
    Guess I'll be trawling the internet again! Haven't ever seen one before. Thanks for posting a picture of yours.

    If you find one, do let me know.
    The cylinder head gauge is mechanical. I need to see if I can get a picture of it for you.

    On a side note, have you ever seen a green line manifold pressure gauge?

    Cylinder head temp was for corvairs and bugs. I come across them occasionally. If I see one I'll let you know..

    Seeing all these Greenlines gets me all giddy! I had a CylHead Temp gauge, but it was 12V electric. I haven't seen a mechanical one. I have seen 2 5/8" Fuel Pressure as others have stated and posted. Here is the dash in my T....I couldn't fit another one in there if I tried lol.

    That looks great! The motor minder seems a size in between, what size is it?
    You might be right, the cylinder head gauge might have been electrical, not 100% sure.
    The one gauge I am really after is the Fuel Pressure gauge, not sure where you would come across that one?
    Do you know if SW done a 2 5/8 greenline manifold gauge?
    There seem to be more and more gauges I didn't know of!

    I'm not 100% sure, but all Cylinder Head Temp gauges I've seen were 12V and 2 1/16".

    I have Fuel, Amps, Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Oil Temperature, and Fuel Pressure in 2 1/16", a Motor Minder (Vacuum) in 2 5/8", and a speedometer and tach in 3 3/8". I missed a "Vacuum" 2 5/8" on eBay to replace the Motor Minder last week. Doh!

    I've seen Vacuum, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, RPM, and Amperes in 2 5/8". I'm guessing by "Manifold Gauge" you mean manifold pressure/boost? If so I haven't seen one of those in any size for the Greenline series.

    If you watch eBay you should be able to come up with the rest for a reasonable amount. $50 or so would be a good deal on a 2 5/8" size. If you needed 2 1/16", I have a few spare H20, Amp, and Oil I could part with, but I think if you have the dash space that 2 5/8" would look way better.
