Smiths Temperature Gauge

[Lyle]

My Smiths temperature gauge has gone out of calibration. When the engine is cold, it registers about 20 degree C too high, and when everthing is up to temperature, it reads about 10 degree high. It worked fine for 1 1/2 years, but changed suddenly for no known reason.

Is there a way to recalibrate these low tech gauges?

Lyle,

Try http://www.nisongerautomotive.com/

They sell and service Smiths instruments.

I had probhlems with both my temp gauges after about a year, but mine were reading low, indicating a leak in the tubing or bulb.
I called Nisonger and decided to just buy new gauges, as they weren't a lot more than the rebuild.

Good luck,

David,

Thanks for the tip. I've e-mailed a request for info. You confirmed my suspicion that replacement would probably be about the same price as repair. I'll see what they send.
