Any chance someone has one of these laying around not being used ? Top $ paid - drop me a note through the Forum, please.

Anyone having trouble opening that file ? I can't figure out how to turn it into a jpeg !!!

you might make it clear you have the inside Motor Meter and need the link to a radiator hose. I was not able to open your link, but since I have a complete one in may collection, I know wjhat you need.

Thanks Darel - this is for a steering column mounted Boyce temperature gauge like this.

This is what's in the PDF above - looks like he's looking for the sensor. RajoRacer - open the PDF take a screen shot, save it, use PAINT to crop it to size & save it

Thanks for the "tip" Frank - I'm looking for the hose fitting - not the sensor - it's connected to the capillary.

TTP - here's another view.

Let me get this straight. The fitting shown goes in a hole in the top hose and provides a place for the capillary “bulb” to go, correct? How does the fitting seal? How is it held in place?

I just got one of this type of Boyce Motometer gauge and am looking at how to mount the sensor. I have a Rajo BB, so I was thinking about making a fitting to go in the carb heater hole, but it’s fun to know how it was done in period.

The special plate seals onto the radiator hose like an early tire metal stem seals on the inner tube. The capillary "knob" fits into the special plate and is held in position with the 1/2" threaded fitting - quite simple actually. I prefer the special block fitting like I sent you the photo & diagram of - there was a "special" hollow headbolt available also. These steering column & dash mounts came available i the late 20's - early 30's.

BTT - anyone ?
