I have a 1930 4dr sedan cf 8 cyl. The water temp gauge is the only one not working. Have an aftermarket one, but would prefer the original one. Is it difficult to repair and who might do that? Or does anyone have a lead to replace? Thanks in advance.
I think the last time I had a conversation about getting a temperature gauge restored places like Bob’s Speedometer (look for them in the resources tab) would make that repair for around $200. Restoration of the gauge face adds to the cost.
It's supposed to be fun!
