It depends on what car you want to fit it to as it will require a voltage stabilizer, fit a capillary gauge which does not require any electrics apart from the panel lights
I would not bother with a gauge which only reads H N C.

the cars a 1969 and already has a stabalizer, what would you recomend a gaudge saying? the tempratures?

Provided that the gauge and sender are both Smiths units then they should be compatible. My preference is for a capillary gauge or an electric gauge showing degrees[frame][/frame]

The price is right - and that looks like a nice period 70s gauge. The CNH is fine - why would that not be satisfactory??

As I said - personal preference.

Hi There
I am fitting a new MY FAVOURITE CAR IS A DATSUN CHERRY temperature gauge to my traveller. Does anyone know the best place to obtain a voltage regulator for it and how to wire it.
Thanks.

Read through previous posts and all will be revealed

If the speedo has a black face - it already has a 10V regulator on the back.......

Hey, Thanks a lot. You've really solved my problem. I feel stupid because I should have looked at what was supplying the fuel gauge.
once again Thanks.
