Hi

Which water temperature sender unit should I use for a Classic Smiths water temperatue gauge? I know I will need an adapter but what size?

I run a 3.5 from a P6 in a Spartan.

Thanks

use the one Smiths supply with the instrument, then you will know its giving you the right readings

I bought a couple of Smiths water temp gauges from Ebay to replace the Tim one as all my other gauges are Smiths, so no sender with them.

Speak to speedy Cables - they are the manufacturers

Intermotor part number 52730 fits and works well with the smiths "mini " gauge i have, obviously through a 9v supply !

Thanks for the replies.

I have 10 volts through a voltage reducer for the gauges but not 9 volts! How do you get 9 volts?

Yes it's similar to the one I've got.

I bought a Smiths sender from Europa Spares but the Smiths gauge only shows just over cold when up to normal temperature. Where as the Tims gauge, I want to replace with a Smiths one, shows normal temperature. Weird or what?

It was a faulty gauge, changed it for another one and it works fine now. Thanks for all your help.
