Wanted WTB Fuel Gauge for Bugeye

[Editor_Reid]

Must be cosmetically excellent (gauge face, needle, chrome ring, glass) and correct for a Bugeye. Needing minor repair OK.

I have this one out of my Bugeye available. I have replaced this gauge with a programmable one with a new tank and sending unit so this one is now in excess to my needs. Although the face design is the same as the Mk1 Sprite gauge, I have been told this gauge because of the serial #FG2530/64 is correct for a MK2 Sprite. I have no way of officially verifying that.

If you are interested please PM me to discuss details.

PS: don't ask me why the thumbnail photo went sideways on me when I uploaded it but when you click on it the orientation gets corrected. Figuring all that out would be above my pay grade.

Just for reference, by Bugeye gauge looks like this

Unless certain Bugeyes came with Jaeger gauges, yours looks to be out of of an MGA or Triumph.

My Smiths gauge has since been sold to another individual.

I sent you a PM (called a "Conversation" under the new regime/new forum software). Guess you didn't see it.

Apparently I should have responded in public here.

I agree that the Jaeger gauge shown in the photo posted by racingenglishcars is not an original gauge for a Bugeye.

Sorry Reid, evidently I'm missing out. I have no idea what the "new regime/new forum software" is all about. I never received a PM for you, and if it's sitting out there somewhere, I have no idea how to retrieve it. Otherwise, I certainly would have responded.

Can anyone reading this help get me straightened out, or tell me how to contact the moderator so I can join you guys in the 21st Century?

Clueless in Virginia.

EDIT: Ah Hah! I just figured it out and have responded to Reid via PM. All's good now.
