Default Voltmeter Gauge

Hey guys since my a/c is out , i want to replace the ac **** with a voltmeter gauge. Ive seen pics of early interiors with stock looking yellow voltmeter gauge where the ac **** would be. Where can i find one?

I've got one (a couple I think) - more early gauges that I need anyway. I can supply you one for the price of postage and a beer. Post to the US will be about $30 I reckon. PM me if that sounds good, and let me know if you've got anything you could trade.

That's the easy part - it just takes in any ~+12v line and tells you what the actual voltage is. As I recall there is only one fitting on the back.

Don't know whether it's a direct fit in the same slot in the console panel, but you'd assume they'd only make one unit and work to that.

Yes, it'll fit right in the AC **** hole. Hook up 12V and ground, and you're good to go.

I tapped into the postive 12v from the oil pressure guage and used the ground from the clock. You wouldn't want to use the 12v from the clock, that has a constant 12v.
