Seeking an operational BE fuel gauge

[mxp01]

Gentlemen:

My BE is currently in the shop undergoing a number of repairs and conversions. One thing that I need is an operational fuel gauge.

Please email or pm me if you have one available for sale. I'm not going to say "money's no object" - it is - but I am open to pay a reasonable fee for one.

Thanks,
Mike Pennell

I stole the working one out of my BE since its a little ways from being even remotely drivable and installed it in the big Healey. Dont most of the years Sprigets use basically the same gauge? I was thinking the one from a donor `70 model just need the bezel swapped. Been a while since I had that stuff out on the work bench. Could be in left field tho.

is it the gauge or the sender? Kim, isn't there a way to test?

There wer 3 different guage sender setups through the years of spridget making. For the Bugeye,You can test the sender. It should vary between O ohms and 70 ohms, and with a 12vdc power source you can test the gauge with a 70 ohm resistor(or close) and a direct connection 0 ohms (from the sender lead to ground)and see if the gauge works.

I have my vehicle at a very reputable shop in Nashville. The owner said my gauge was simply no longer operational.

I ordered one from Moss UK. So thanks to everyone for their attention.
