Grfishmaker's '47 rebuild
the old trucker:
Hey Grfishmaker, where did you get your gauges & did you get the matching sending units for them ?? I think I would like them with a white background..
OT.
grfishmaker:
Those three gauges were in the machine when I bought it from KPM . As they were working, I just simpley cleaned them up (scraped off that yellow paint) an mounted them into the wood. They are those types that you see in places like Canadian Tire, Princess Auto (three in a cluster) that have there own mounting bracket. I just threw the bracket away and mounted them individualy. Actually the oil pressure gauge is not working, but the sending unit is there and I think it is just a matter of checking the connections. I checked the temperature readings with a laser reader and they are accurate.
They are the same gauges as the ones on some of my first posts of the interior.

I thought I had posted a picture of the dash area back when I started tearing her apart, but I guess not so here's one. Those are the three gauges on the left side of the dash.

Here's one more. I forgot how nice it used to look. OT, I can get you the name of the yellow paint if you are interested. ha ha
the old trucker:
Grfishmaker I know times are tough nowadays, but let me know your belt size so I can take up a collection from the members here & buy you a new one, since you used your old one to hold your heater core up with. I wonder if it belonged to KPM at one time ??
OT.
grfishmaker:
Actually that belt is bombardier part # 236209-2A and was an update to replace the bolts because of the faulty gas pedal that used to jump up and knock the heater off it's original bracket. I think KPM told me that the leather comes from the left side of a mature male Tibetian Rock Lizard and is very hard to find these days. After hearing the story of the belt I paid a little extra just to own one. (The belt now sits in saftey deposit box in Winnipeg and is not for sale).
