I looked at LMC Truck catalog, pretty nice/pricy solutions there.
I have looked at Bosch guages but they all seem to be center pivot, 270 degree arc versions where I believe to fit well they would need to be bottom pivot and 90 degree arc?
The ones I used were bottom pivot Bosch gauges. I just had a look to confirm.
As I say I did have to reverse the sweep on a couple. But didnt have to modify the needles
Sweep matched the OEM as well. I’ll grab a photo
Edit: Some photos: If I was gonna keep these installed Id go back in and adjust the location a little better, clean it up more. Backside shows the mounting it wasn’t difficult just a bit of messing around.
Not sure if I mentioned before but I made my own metal faces in some cases although that fuel gauge is actually robbed from an aftermarket replacement gauge, which is why the colour is off. But the fuel gauge movement is a Bosch.
The oil pressure gauge does in fact register correctly that needle always sits off like that - the reading on that gauge even matches what the new CI gauge reads. It is also a bottom pivot.
All in all it was a good learning process and I have another OT project early 50s GM with unobtainable gauges I will apply everything I learned (read “done wrong”) on this, to that.
