We are looking for a source that can restore our 1933 and 1935 hydrostatic dash gauges. These are the ones that have the red fluid in the tube. We have run out of gas not knowing we were that low. Any help in finding a source that can rebuild these gauges would be appreciated. Thank you and happy V8ing. Mike.

Renners Corner in MI. Williamsons Instruments in Arkansas also. I have done quite a few but to far away and shipping is a killer.

Williamsons in Arkansas restored mine about 3 years ago and it’s still working as it should.
I was happy with their work, but he did have it for a couple of months or so.

I recommend inspecting your enter fuel gauge system first. The unit in the tank might be junk, the air line to the gauge might be plugged. The unit in the dash is the easy part, I make kits for that part.
