Hi Robert - I remember it now but never did anything further with it. What I need is to see, touch and smell this plate to see if it feasible to replicate it. Any offers of a loan?
Bob

Hi Scott,
Where are you located? We have a good swap meet in October at Canungra in Queensland. I have a few parts that are looking for a new home. Is there anything in particular you are looking for? Cheers Jeff

Hi Scott - my instrument technician can rebuild these @ $230. I have several dead gauges suitable for rebuild and can supply him with my dead ones. They are complete with the bulb holder that screws into the block. He does any length capilary. I then just put a new face on to the gauge face.
Bob Sorry Scott - I forgot you had round gauges. To extend the capilary length one would need to cut the original tube thereby losing the contents. A new, longer capilary would then be fitted and the whole thing re-gassed, or whatever he does. The cost would be the same.

Hi Scott
A vehicle with that amount of rust should I think be split up as a parts source. You'll save yourself a huge amount of time, cost and stress by finding another in better condition, and that's not too hard to do here in Australia. I don't think I've ever seen springs as bad as those, they take the cake! The modification on the end of the chassis is a civvy one and another reason to not use it. The likely reason the date is not on the data plate is it may have been built in the Sydney factory as they put the date on the other plate on the engine cover as a rule. What are the details written on your data plates?
