        Hi Lawrence -that’s it – looks nicer than mine! How much are you after?
        Regarding the temp gauge – I fitted yours and it was intermittent, so I refitted mine which was the same….
        To cut a long story short which may help other members; it was the copper track within the plastic ‘circuit board’ which had broken where the plug goes in. I got hold of a piece of wire and spliced it into the plug end and also into the temp gauge screw (easy) and that did the trick.
        While I was fiddling around, I broke the rev counter feed too, so did the same fix.
        Incidentally, I checked both the gauges were working by applying 9v with a PP3 batters and both gave a full scale deflection which led me to look for another cause of the malfunction. Happy to keep it unless anyone else wants a temp gauge.
        Hope this helps someone else!

          Hi Laurence,
          When you have a moment could you take a photo of the radio backing plate surround area. Yours might be in better condition than mine!
          And thank you so much for sending the temperature dial and all your help on the phone. So much appreciated!
          Best wishes,
          Nigel
