A decal set can give you the correct color too. I think that you can get a temperature gauge good for 220 from around a 1953 model. | | |

For the temperature gauge, go to a large hardware store and buy a 1/2" male NPT to 3/8" gas flare female brass adaptor, and screw it right in to the hole in the thread. The gauge tube is a 3/8" male gas flare thread and seat. No teflon tape or sealer should be necessary.

You will probably need to get a redi-sleeve to put on the shaft where it seals, there is usually a groove cut in the shaft from the old seal.
