JohnD Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The answer is, no.But Smiths or Jaeger instruments, or facsimilies, are widely available, including combined oil pressure/water temp guages that save drilling a new hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Not original Triumph but I rather like these (the [sup]o[/sup]C version):http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390123959605&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendervision Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have (the scale-less version) one of those, it compliments the other instruments nicely. It does mean I have two temperature gauges, but I've got a plan to fix that sometime in the future. Picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Zender, install an electric tachometer, then connect the mechanical tachometer cable up to the original temp gauge so the needle will spin around at the same speed as the engine. Label the gauge "Traction Loss" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendervision Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 No, it's going to be the levels meter for my in-car recording studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
