Temperature Gauge

Post by woodseaves »

Hi all,

I am about to replace the temperature gauge on my Dexta. Can anyone tell me what "route" the cable takes from gauge to probe?

Regards

You will prob find the cable is 'too' long.

Apparently that is so you can split the tractor without removing the temp probe. So lose the excess under the fuel tank, but make sure it can stretch out if you need to split her.

Yes you want one that fits inside the bezel - a lot don't unfortunately. :wink:
