MGA Restoration 2019 Aussie Pt. 91 - Repair Temp Gauge

Here I show how to graft a new capilliary to a broken temp gauge. And it worked.

Great job! I guess the key lesson is about keeping the bulb as cold as possible. You wouldn't want any ether vapour interfering with your soldering!

Fantastic progress!! Looking forward to going for a spin when you're on the road!! 😊

Thanks for the info. Have a 37 Buick and temp gauge not working. Just ordered a gauge from India a$30 delivered to Australia and it does have the original type of capillary tube so we’ll see how it goes.

Hope it goes well for you Alan. Like I said get everything prepared and give it plenty of time in the ice before cutting the new one.

Great video. So where did you get the spare gauge from? The one you took the ether bulb from...

I purchased a new one from ebay. Looking at past purchases it cost about US$14.delivered and I think it actually came from China.
