Topic: Aftermarket Temperature Guage

  The car is a 1940 Deluxe Fordor with a 59A engine...

I'm wanting to temporarily install a couple of temperature guages... one for each side of the engine... just to keep an eye on the operating temperatures. I am planning on this being a temporary installation.

I've bought two mechanical guages... but I haven't found a way to run the tubes from the guages to the heads without boring holes through the firewall... I'm not interested in doing that.

I've been looking for a source for 6v electric guages... wires can be run through existing holes in the firewall easily. So far, I've found two sources for 6v guages. Westach sells them, but has a 4 to 6 week lead time... and the early Jeep suppliers also sell 6v guages, but only in 4 or 5 guage kits... which I don't need.

I'm looking for a solution to this issue... any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

  run the gauge tubes down thru the hole created for the steering column--remove the plates surrounding the cut out
