Capillary temperature gauge repair

Mr. Martin has all the info on the length of the tubes. Just tell him the vehicle info.

If 34, 35, or 36 (and possibly earlier such as V-12 or ...), then this is a good telephone call to Frank Cek question.

Sounds like I will send it in, I found Mr Martins # online, what is the length of the gauge to bulb copper line when ordered, 24"- 36"?

I have used Roy many times over the years. THe work has always been first class and he stands behind his work. The work has always been done in s reasonable time.

I tried this method from SK and was successful in getting a working gauge. The down side was the readings were not consistent. this was with a ether filled bulb. I don't know if some ether escaped in the process or what. Then sent the gauge to John Wolf and he fixed it. He can be found on line.

I have had no luck finding a working gauge. this one's bulb is broken off . I understand this is not uncommon for sensor bulb to twist off as they rust in manifold and are difficult to remove. I have the triangle dash gauge but the line is cut maybe to close. I am reading you can take another donor gauge sender and freeze it in a milk carton of water to chill the fluid and then cut off the donor head and solder the small copper line together with a sleeve shaped to the the old line diameter and soldered. When the ice thaws the fluid fills the tube giving a reading on the repaired gauge. Seems simple enough, has anyone tried this? I am not sure my donor has red fluid or mercury. Only trying this out of desperation since I cant find a working gauge set, any ideas? Does this seem like a fools errand?
