Default 30-100 degC water temp gauge
Hello experts.

Need advice....is the text format on this gauge correct....



...or is the 30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100 text correct....or am I splitting hairs too much?

Information and/or opinions valued.

Cheers,
Glen

This is the best photo I have of the original gauge in COB6029:



The batons are the usual 'box' style, not solid as in your photo. Capillary gauge.

Appreciate the replies gentlemen. Maybe I jumped in too soon asking for opinions.
The supplier and I have sorted the issue and a new gauge is to be forthcoming. The wrong dial/graphics were fitted to the correct other bits. The supplier/manufacturer is Caerbont, and they are one of the easiest and most reliable companies I have had the pleasure to deal with.

Cheers,
Glen

Default Update on Smiths 30degC - 100degC water temp gauge
Caerbont happily made good the incorrect face and sent me a new gauge. Calibration spacing is slightly different to original, but more accurate.
Full marks to them.



Cheers,
Glen

Glen,

Looks good. It's coming together, piece by piece.
