i bought these a while back, would be out of warranty by now. the ones i have are NEXUS, which are not even made anymore-which probably says enough of the story
might be stupid question but is there any reason not to use a Regular oil temp gauge as the trans temp gauge, so everything is either Degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit , as they do a oil…[Read more]

Now just to buy new Autometer gauges
the current ones i have have digital stepper motors, should i get something similar? didnt really want mechanical ones
Looking for Trans Temp, Water Temp and Oil pressure Have to be 2 1/16(52mm) was looking at Autometer cobalt or Sports comp gauge (prefer something with a Black Face)

Well found a pressure gauge in the shed, so adapted the gauge to fit the spot where the Autometer sender was

Yeah primed the system, even double checked that by repacking it again.
Gauge is an electric Autometer Nexus
I’ll get another gauge tomorrow, and screw it straight into the pump
hopefully haven’t done any damaged, had it running for 10-15 minutes
