kevin47 Registered: 02/05/11 Posts: 1034 Loc: Concord California	My '47 came with a S.W. Temp. Gauge added below the dash...I suspect the original doesn't work...Question was : Can the Gauge be repair or do I look for one on Ebay...? _________________________ 47 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475 If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!

Check in G&D for services offered for a source. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

Keith Knox Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 01/14/02 Posts: 92 Loc: Napa CA	To repair the temp gage it takes special equipment. This tells you about the mechanical gage. Some are filled with eather. http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/653.cfm _________________________ 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Coupe, Purchased 6/20/2010 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster Coupe Leaving-Gone Sept 2011 1996 Monte Carlo 63,000 Miles, purchased new

kevin47 Registered: 02/05/11 Posts: 1034 Loc: Concord California	Thanks Keith...I can always rely on you...Picked up Two Complete Dash Gauge Clusters last week on Ebay ( just for the Heck of it )...Haven't actually tested the one in my car...It came with a S&W Temp. gauge attached below the dash and it's going to interfere with the switchs I need to install ( heat / defrost ) Thanks for the Information...Kevin _________________________ 47 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475 If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!

a3alf Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 02/12/11 Posts: 79 Loc: New York	You can repair the temp gauge your self with just a soldering iron or gun and some ice. there is a good info on the mopar web site if you do not find it contact me and I will give full instructions. DO NOT USE A FLAME TO SOLDER A TEMP GAUGE. AL

kevin47 Registered: 02/05/11 Posts: 1034 Loc: Concord California	...But I'm a Welder...Must use blow torch...did I tell you about the "Fire"...?...Just Kidding...Guessing there' a "bourdon tube" involved...? Oxy / Ace Gas Welding Regulators use that same principle , too...I'll check out the Mopar site....Thanks , Kevin _________________________ 47 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475 If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!
