My '47 came with a S.W. Temp. Gauge added below the dash...I suspect the original doesn't work...Question was : Can the Gauge be repair or do I look for one on Ebay...?

Thanks Keith...I can always rely on you...Picked up Two Complete Dash Gauge Clusters last week on Ebay ( just for the Heck of it )...Haven't actually tested the one in my car...It came with a S&W Temp. gauge attached below the dash and it's going to interfere with the switchs I need to install ( heat / defrost ) Thanks for the Information...Kevin

You can repair the temp gauge your self with just a soldering iron or gun and some ice.
there is a good info on the mopar web site if you do not find it contact me and I will give full instructions.
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO SOLDER A TEMP GAUGE.

...But I'm a Welder...Must use blow torch...did I tell you about the "Fire"...?...Just Kidding...Guessing there' a "bourdon tube" involved...? Oxy / Ace Gas Welding Regulators use that same principle , too...I'll check out the Mopar site....Thanks , Kevin
