Needle for temperature gauge
« on: November 20, 2021, 14:22:05 »
I want to restore an old temperature gauge, for this I’m looking for an original, in good condition, needle.

Does someone has one to spare?
Pls let me know and PM me for price and postage

Thanks Peter

Hello Peter, if no one here can help, you may have to buy a complete non working gauge just for the needle, there's one listed at the moment, needle looks to be the same, but the price and postage may be prohibitive, as with all things Pagoda

Thanks for the information Bob,

I've solved the problem in the meantime but if not £22 with the components I already have is less than a new one.

I was going to write: if the fule gauge needle is the same, it could widen your search, but if it is resolved - great.
