I'm sure there's a way to make the sender compatible with any gauge, they work from resistance in the sender. You might have to send the gauge in with the sender so they can make it compatible. It's worth a phone call anyway | Phil B (648) | ||
| 1170940 | 2011-01-20 01:42:00 | Had a look at the link. If that's the same resistance range as the new gauge you're laughing. If not adjust it with a resistor in the wire to the gauge | Phil B (648) | ||
| 1170941 | 2011-01-20 02:40:00 | In the bad old days when I drove cars that needed regular repairing, I used Michies Auto-Electrical in Como Street Takapuna. Gordon Michie was a magician with anything electrical (although he's probably retired by now)... Edit: Link - http://www.michiesautomotive.co.nz/ |

If not adjust it with a resistor in the wire to the gauge Yep I will run with this gage, I am not going down the repair path the VAL gage was unreliable when it was working. $149 for both seems ok. Some clown was going to sell me a VAL instrument panel which has the fuel gage in it for $250 and couldn't guarantee it worked and to get the sender price unknown he would have to remove the VAL tank. Thanks again Phil and JC for useful help. |
