Picked up this $20 (plus shipping) gauge on eBay.com last week, 60mm diameter mechanical gauge made by Veglia Borletti, just needs some reworking on the lettering and the bezel repainting.
Proper result!

Thank Peter, still learning this computer stuff! It may be too late.... Anyway, here are the pics I meant to post!
Still wondering what a Nuova Didoni is though!

Thats a good find, the right diameter & the correct format dual needle to boot.
Can you make it work as a temp gauge?

I very much doubt it Craig but I haven't opened it up yet to see. I was toying with the idea of a new face for it saying "oil temp & water temp" but leaving it reading oil pressure and fuel pressure and then refacing other gauges to match the correct styles/wording but performing other functions such as oil temperature on an "oil pressure gauge", I'm sure you know what I mean but the mere thought of looking at a gauge that says oil temperature and going through a thought process to realise it's actually oil pressure isn't worth the hassle when a gauge starts reading something other than "normal"..... Plus I'd end up needing an extra gauge as the original Gp4 car never had a fuel pressure gauge. Yup, it's a dilemma alright!
Next problem will be finding matching 60mm gauges with the correct needle deflections to modify for the remaining functions. Do these builds ever finish? Probably not...
