I need to source a temp gauge for my boat that looks like this...
Anyone have a source that has great pricing??
My 30 something year old one has finally given up the ghost, and my gaffer tape fixes are just not good enough...

The speedo shop ringwood. On intersection of Maroondah HWY and heatherdale road (opposite corner to hungry jacks)
Dunno about cheapest but definitely the best knowledge of gauges!

definately not the cheapest...
http://www.egauges.com/VD2_main.asp is probably your best bet, measure the dia of your gauge and see if they have one which matches.
http://www.atlanticspeed.com/ these guys are also good, will let you paypal (egauges you have to fax them a copy of your CC) and the same price if not cheaper than egauges. The only real prob is the dollar :(

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, why does the temp gauge HAVE TO match, when the tacho is a completely different Stewart Warner gauge?

There is another temp guage on the other side of the speedo, as there are two temp senders. (and subsequently two large holes in the dash..) Hence I would like to match them, or worst case I'll have to buy two new ones (to go with the temp senders that recently shat themselves...)
