Anyone have info on someone that rebuilds temp gauges for the TR3. Took mine out...compression nut stuck in housing, got nut loose, probe stuck in housing. Got probe out but broke the line and let the gas out. Appreciate any help. New to forum but not new to Triumph. Seems like I remember a Nysonger in California that rebuilt gauges. Thanks
 
Nisongers is on the east coast somewhere (Florida?). The founder passed away and someone else is running the business now.

I used Morris at West Valley to calibrate all of the gauges that I rebuilt, but he can do everything. he converted my tach to electronic as well.

You can see the whole story here: https://www.74tr6.com/gauges1.htm
 
Nisonger is the place I've always used for Brit gauges.

Not cheap but certainly the go-to guys for ether bulb instruments.

They're in New York.
 
Second West Valley.... They did my TR3s Temp gauge 6 years ago, and working fine...
 
Why not... "you"?

You can try the method in the link below. I have repaired three gauges using the method described. It will cost you about $20 in materials to try the repair. If you fail, send it to one of the links above and let them take over.

The biggest thing you need to worry about is making the solder connections. It is easy to accidentally plug the capillary tube. I have found it is best to use a hot air gun to heat the expansion bulb immediately after the repair is made to make sure the tube is open. If it is not, start over.

Thanks to all. Nisonger it is, just forgot where they were from, so now I know. I had used them before and had good experience. Doug thanks for the link, but every time I try to solder something my wife makes me eat a bar of soap.
