Hello;

I read a partial article that says you can use ether to refill this style of water temperature gauge. does anyone out there know the process from start to finish?
Sure would be a big help.

Merry Christmas

Lots of antique cars used those types of
gauges. There are firms in the antique auto
hobby that restore them. Look for ads under
"Services" in Hemmings Motor News

I"ve never heard of a "home repair" on a leaky liquid filled tempeature gauge(not that that counts for much), but why would you want to attempt this process when an replacement unit is $15-20?

Jerry... you gotta hang around here more... The link has been posted quite a number of times.

Try the link below, and see the links to updates at the bottom of that page.

The whole process sounds NEAT.

I've been meaning to try it with an old gauge sometime!

Hi Bob;

Would you or anyone, know the dope on where to get the copper sleeve to make the connection with? I have a 1/4 inch, but I think that is too big to make it.
