Oil temp/ US Gage/ Keystone

I should have posted this earlier but my search for a capilary was fruitless. I ended up buying the very same instrument from Wag Aero. It was rather simple and straightforward to install and it works great. God knows I'll be careful when I manipulate my screen housing from that!

i might be on the same boat with a clipper oil temp gauge, what happenned with your gauge?
 
Rudderbug, FYI, the guy in Lockhaven is on vacation until mid Jan. I sent my oilpressure/temp guage there two weeks ago to get a rebuild adn won't see it back till mid january.
 
Caution!!!! Not all bulbs are created equal. Earlier in this thread you will see I had the same problem and didn't want to wait a month and the WagAero unit was cheaper but uncertified, well I learned something. There are two styles of bulb. My original had a tapered shoulder on the ring to seal it against the screen housing. The WA bulb has a square shoulder on the sealing ring. Guess what happens after a few hours. It cuts a groove into the mating tapered seat and comes loose and leaks. Fortunaly it was in an adapter in the spin on filter adapter and not in a screen housing which are mega bucks. So after wasting $300 at WA, now I sent the original unit and bulb down to Lock Haven for a $436.91 repair to put my old bulb on a new tube. I didn't even get a new faceplate. The 2 week turnaround took 4 and when I called after 2 they said they were waiting for it to come back from where THEY sent it. I'll try to post some pics of the 2 bulbs.
