Re: gas gauge
Speedhut makes some nice gauges that will fit but may not match your other gauges exactly. You can also get one with a more common ohm range so you can replace it with a modern fuel sender which is much cheaper than factory sending units and may be more accurate.

Re: gas gauge
OP has an early car so he can use the $15 VW fuel sender if need be. No idea if would play nice with Speedhut gauge though.sfdaugherty wrote: Thu May 09, 2024 10:14 pm Speedhut makes some nice gauges that will fit but may not match your other gauges exactly.

Re: gas gauge
If you're replacing the entire gauge set, look at New Vintage USA. All American made and really sharp. They all fit directly into the original dash holes without modification, which is great. No clock is available, but Jon Frampton can restore it to brand new.
This is my mock up / testing the wiring before actually installing in the dash ...

Re: gas gauge
I’m using Classic Instruments full set of seven gauges, very happy with this setup.
