TEA20 Low temperature gauge

I have an extra hole in my dashboard so I was thinking of putting in a temperature gauge.
Looking around all I see is gauges that go up to 230F or even higher. This puts the Fergie operating temperature way down at the low end of the gauge - the needle would barely register.
Anybody know where I can get a gauge with 140-160 in the middle? I like the ones with a 270 degree sweep.
Thanks,
Jim W

I know what you mean Jim, I purchased one from Bourbonnais and the gauge starts at 100 going to 270. With the light work I do with the Fergie it barely registers past 100 although it would be desirable that the engine heats up higher.

Up to 230 would be fine for any gasoline engine.Do you guys have operating thermostats in your motors.You can do more damage running at 100, than 230. you really want it at least at 160 while its going.When they are too cool, oil flow and return are compromised.
Good luck, Kev

Kevin,
For some reason the original thermostat is specified at 140F. Not too sure why so low, but there must have been some reason. But even with the more commonly availble 160F thermostats the reading is on the low side of the modern gauges.
