Restoring a fuel gauge

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hello everyone,

I have just taken the gas gauge out of my ’32 V12 limo and sure enough I managed to break the glass in two pieces. Is there anyone that has the concave glass for the face or does the flat glass work just as good? It is 2" in diameter. Also, can someone recommend where I could send the whole gauge to have it restored? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Curtiss, sorry I haven’t been on the forum for awhile. I haven’t actually tried this myself yet, but a while back I found a company that has convex glass lens’ in graduated sizes intended for clock repair from 2" to 15". The website is timesavers.com.

Jim,

I just called them and ordered 4 lenses, (just in case I may need extras in the future!) Thanks a million.
