Chris_68 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi All!I want a companion for my Jaeger oil pressure gauge and I have decided to go for a temperature gauge.Anyone who as an picture of one mounted in a spitfire or know which type it was?Smiths are easier to find, anyone who knows if it is easy to change the dial to Jaeger?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_68 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 HiA follow up question, I have removed the sump and like to weld a bung in the sump to prepare for any future temp sensor. Are the two most common sizes on the sensor 5/8 UNF and 1/8 NTP? So either I weld one of those in or use a 3/8 NPT-1/8 NPT adapter instead of the oil plug.yes I know it would be better to buy the gauge first.... but I haven't been able to find one and like to finish the sump up with some paint.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oil_on_the_carpet Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The only difference between a Jaeger and Smith gauge is the 'Jaeger' or 'Smith's label.Get an old style Smiths Oil Temp gauge and a spare Jaeger Water Temp gauge, swap the Jaeger bezel to the Smiths gauge and viola! a 'Jaeger' Oil Temp gauge.
