Hi All,

 

What is the best gauges that will fit into my GTR dash to replace the old ones, without having to modify anything. Inparticular a temp gauge.

 

Thanks

Ther'se been a few NOS temp guages on eBay for $99. I've bought one that's incorrect for my car 'Bugger'. It's an early 73 which is F not Celcius.

Thanks Martin I got one. Temp gauge VDO part number 310 010 014. Goes with the sender part number 320.002. And an instrument specialist can put your original gauge face and dial on the new gauge!

 

Cheers

Hi Gary, it's a 6/73 and I'm after $99 delivered. That's what I paid. It does have a small mark on glass near 100. y9e8y5yd.jpg8ybe2uze.jpg
