Post by: elf on September 13, 2012, 08:08:43 PM
This is my first post,as i am having trouble finding a replacement oil pressure gauge for my 1938 triumph combination.It needs to be from 0 -25 psi.I do have the original,but its so worn you can hardly read it.anyone have any suggestions on where to find a replacement? i have looked online,but most seem to go to higher pressures.

You could email the ebay seller who makes the 100lb and 160lb Triumph copies and ask if they make or will make the 25lb one that you require (i am only taking about the printed disc not the whole gauge )

Have you tried to remove the glass and gently clean it or has it faded away already ?

When you find the person specialising in rebuilding these - there will be someone, triumphs are too numerous for there not to be - they will likely have had some new faces screen printed. This makes essentially a new gauge out of it.

Low pressure gauges were also fitted to some Ariels, and a few makes of cars, so somewhere there will be a supply of them...  Hopethishelps.

Tony East used to refurb/repro these.not sure if he still does though since he moved to the IOM ?

The gauge has the correct face but the needle has been replaced , the correct one has a very different style .
