Oil Temperature Gauge 289 FIA

Depends on what scale you need.

140C is 284F, so the second gauge gives more accurate readings at temps lower than 284F.

Can you see how that compares to your current gauge?

Gauge scale selection is all about running a scale about 10% higher than your expected maximum.

It's a bit like why we don't run a 15000 rpm tachometer on a stock bigblock.

Having said that, to keep the gauges the same etc, getting your current gauge repaired is certainly the first and best option.

I love your layout, very functional order of gauges.

Peter,
Definitely don't use that 2" CS gauge. Shouldn't mix degC with degF gauges, and a 2" gauge just won't go in a 2⅝" hole .
I might be wrong, but surely those 2⅝" CS gauges are rebadged SW 2⅝" gauges?
If it you really don't want to mix CS and SW gauges (even though I think they are the same gauge), consider that 'back in the day', they mixed and matched to suit what was available at the time, and also what suited individual driver's requirements/preferences

Cheers,
Glen

thanks guys for the input, I think I will go for a SW gauge or repair the old one,
unfortunately I didn't find until now anyone who can repair this gauge
