I have a 948cc frog eye but the water temperature uage doesnt work (doesnt move at all). Does anyone have any ideas how I should go about checking and testing...
G'day Greg You've already tested it - it doesn't work! The capillary tube is filled with ether, and when the radiator heats up, the ether expands and pushes...
Colin , Is that a capillary true or a capillary tube that you refer too? Cheers, Rob L. PS Is the dato run to the Hunter still on? ... From: Colin Dodds To:...
Thanks Colin - but dont think I can have a good day after hearing that, sounds very expensive! Is there no way there might be electrical fault in the guage?...
Greg, that depends if you have an electrical gauge. If it is a dual gauge made by Smiths it will be a mechanical unit as described by Colin. Correct model ...
Darryl, You car looks fantastic! I am doing a very similar DIY ground up job on my Sprite MkIII. Did you paint the car yourself or get it done professionally?...
G'day Greg. What Bruce said. Unless it's the wrong gauge, it's not electrically driven but mechanical via the capillary tube. Look at the bright side - there...
Thanks for help. I have resigned to paying for a new one. But when I look in the catalogue, there seems to be just one line/cable that comes with the guage....
Sorry - just being lazy I guess. Looked under dash & realise there is a hard pipe for oil - so just need to unscrew that one obviously. I guess it pretty...

Hi Greg, where are you located? If are are in Brisbane you could drop the gauge into Otto Instruments and have it repaired, we do these all the time. If you...

Hi All, We have just taken delivery of a bugeye (running but restoration needed). It seems exceptionally high at the back, ie the gap between the top of the...
G'day Corinne, and congratulations on another Bugeye purchase. There are a lot of possible explanations. Let's start with the tyres? What size tyres do you...
