Tread very softly or Big Brother will seek their revenge.

And besides all that, if the guy was really good he could use the original gauge head parts and have the finished product not be able to be told it was counterfiet.

You just have to find the right guy.

...I wonder if one could use red mercurechrome(sp). I guess you would have to know the specific gravity of it and of the original Ford fluid.

the specific gravity of tetra-bromo-ethane is 2.95
the specific gravity of mecurochrome is 0.89-0.95
So that won't work...and is probably even more toxic than the tetra!

Pete=#16 and#19:
The electronic digital bar display= "fairly easy"? , Pete? Would you please post, private or public how this is done?

Is there any person / are there any people that do this conversion? Would you answer my current Want Ad? Thank you.

First, you have to search out parts for a design you dream up. Some times you have to rob parts from and existing electronic gizmo used for a completely different application.
Some times the parts you need are not made any more so that makes the search more interesting. In this case, I have seen the parts that woould work for this gizmo we are talking about. It was at least 10 years ago but it is quite likely many electronic hobbyists will know something about it. Go to an electronic swap meet and ask around. I don't fool with that stuff any more but if I hear of something I will post it here.

Thank you, Sir!
