I have some NOS SW temp gauges...they are absolutely beautiful. Do you have any NOS AL temp gauges to trade? What is the length of the capillary tubes on your Autolite gauges? I'm only interested in trading an NOS SW gauge for an NOS AL gauge if you have one...not for a used AL gauge as I'm sure you can understand! Please let me know Joel.

Did you like the carbine hand guard?

If you don't have any NOS Autolites, then perhaps you'd be willing to sell one or two of your used ones? I'm looking for two in total.

All three are from Willys Jeeps, 2 from MB's, one may be from CJ-2 A, cant tell difference, capillary tubes are jeep length.

Only NOS WWII GI Issue G-503 marked (On Box) is one by U.S. Gauge Have had these since 50's-60's. Trade only no sell.
Hand Guard AOK. :wink:

I might have been confused earlier....you're looking to trade your three used Autolite temps for an NOS Stewart Warner temp gauge, correct? I might be interested in that. I though you were trading 1 used for 1 NOS...didn't make sense given the price of an NOS SW temp gauge these days. Sorry for my confusion. Please send or post photos. Thanks Joel!

Am positive we can reach some sort of a half-assed amicable agreement. :wink:

Joel;

Half-assed? I don't follow. I sent you an email a few days ago asking for some photos of the gauges you're looking to trade. Looking forward to receiving the pics.

It will be a couple days before I get to them. They are not going anywhere in a hurry, had them for better than 50 years.

Hold tight, they are in safe hands and I will get to you soon as I get a chance to spend some quality Jeep time. You are first to respond. :wink:
