Are replacement ones available anywhere, or is this going to be a search for a good used one? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | R.F.
If you click on the American Classic icon at the top of the page you will find they have new complete gauges for around $50.00...can't beat that with a BFH!

Thanks for the help though. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | R.F. I am certainly not one to preach poor consumerism, but if you think the question you posted and the answer that was given was worth a buck, maybe you should consider American Classic....they are a sponsor of this site.  Stuart | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 88 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 88 | No, I was just pointing out the fact that I had stumbled across Jim Carter prior to your response. Had nothing to do with pricing, just a response to the BFH comment. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | but remember Stuart, Carter is offering a 20% off to 'bolters only right now, which makes it better by 10$  Bill | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Bill,
You are right! $10 might be enough incentive for me too.

Just thought I'd mention it - I drove for awhile with the sensor hanging in air untill I popped for a new gauge/sender with a longer tube for the V8. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 | I know this will upset someone,but at Wal-mart or big lots you can get a Cheap set of gauges for $9.95.That oil ,amp, temp.There Cheap but they work fine.An they don't look bad :p :p
