Any idea how old this fella is guys? I'm hoping 60s rather than 70s, as it has the temp. graduations rather than L, N, H but if someone could confirm that'd be great. Cheers, Niall.

I think these were fitted in some '60s Sprites & Midgets?

if not, then i'll put you in touch with the vendor.

I think the 1960s ones had temperature in Farenheit rather than centigrade if I remember rightly.

Those gauges were originally sold in the early 1960's
