1933 fuel/Temp gage problem
 

Gentlemen...
I am working on an stock 1933 5 Window Coupe which has an original fuel and engine temp gage. The gage housing was so rusted it fell a part when I removed the two mounting nuts. The owner would like the find some parts to replace the damaged housing or a replacement unit.

Currently sticking a dummy gage unit and install a modern gas gage and engine temp gage is not an option as of now.

Any help is very much appreciated...

The fuel and temperature gauge is an approved accessory and hence not standard.
The original would have been just a fuel gauge . The fuel gauge is easier to find they come up on Ebay frequently . The dual gauge appears there less commonly and goes for much bigger bucks. If it was my car i would install the standard fuel gauge and replace the radiator hose with one not holed for the temperature probe and wait for a dual gauge to come up -They never had a temperature gauge originally and will do fine without one for a while -Karl
