6V tacho/temp guages?

[Gus]

My 28 Tudor has a stock 6V +gnd elec system. Can anyone recommend temp and tacho gauges that will work well with my setup?

Cheers, Gus

Go to www.westach.com. They have 6 volt, positive ground water temp, oil pressure gauges and 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch 6 volt tachometers. Very good products. They will build the gauge to order. Very good company!!!!!

I agree with AL in NY. I have a Westach tach & it's made well, easy to hook up and works great..... a little pricey though

Gus-
Except for the bulb that goes in the gauge to illuminate it at night, most tachometers do not really care what the voltage of the system is, or the ground. Don't get too hung up on that.

Mechanical temp gauges do not use any electric either, except for illumination.

This makes your selection easier.

When was the last time anyone even saw a mechanical temp'gauge? Do they even make them anymore?

Thanks for the great tips guys. Westach look good, but pricey like you say. Thanks. Gus

They are available in every parts house here in the US. I have never been in a well stocked part store that didn't have them.
