I think I already did post a picture. Or rather our web moderator did it for me since I couldn't. It was a while back on a discussion of making additional guages. I'll try to find it, and see if it's clear or close enough. And if i can search from this %&$# phone. Please stand by.

Clocks are nice too. But any gauge guts that only take up 1/2 the bucket would work. Mine came from a swap meet dash insert. Probably 70s GM. A volt gauge would require less wiring changes I think. Some think a volt gauge safer. The oil gauge is mechanical. So a copper tube and a fitting goes under the light sender. (I found the nylon tube got hard from heat and broke). Hope this helps.

Oh. I forgot you question. I'm sure my sin kept the graphic file. He printed it on a white plastic peel -and-sticker. He'd have a price if you go forward.
The job is kind of tedious. Like, I made a whole new sheet aluminum face with legs to mount it, because the clock face needed the clock to mount.Comment

Thanks a bunch!
All,
After a few days a lot of info has been added to this topic, thank you all very much. Great to get all this input!
Best regards,

Back in the day I had a Stewart-Warner mechanical oil gauge that the plastic line broke on, just as you described, Mike. It was at night and I couldn't figure out (in the dark) why my gas pedal leg was WET! Oddly, the hose broke right at the gauge, not at the engine (where all the vibration is). - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution
