Trying to find accessory gauges.

I am looking for something like this but I refuse to pay this guys asking price ($315). Anyone know where I can find something similar in a two gauge cluster like this? Needs to have the old school look and is going to be hooked up to a 6v system.

Something like these?

 

Yep, do a google search for Stewart Warner gauges. Either the "standard" or "deluxe" line are likely what you're looking for. They're still in business and make them everyday. They're not the cheapest gauges out there, but you get what you pay for. I know Napa carries them new and there's usually a large assortment up on Ebay at any given time also.
EDIT: Forgot to add, ammeters are not voltage sensitive, they'll work on either 12 or 6 volt. Just make sure you get a gauge appropriate to the maximum output of your generator (don't put a 20A ammeter on a charging system with 60A max output). A mechanical oil pressure gauge has no electricity hooked up to it so that doesn't matter either. Your only concern is the correct bulb to light them up..

 

I was also looking at gauges, for my fuel sender. Gauges are connected to a device, there must be accordance between them. For fuel, it is ohmic resistance.

There are some on Morris 4x4 but I found good ones at VDO, you have VDO US website. But there are others.

For 6v, you have all gauges of the Willys, I have them but it is not electric connection and they are independant, so as said even if you Jeep is in 110 volts, it is the same... (water temp and oil pressure).

What you don't find is a cluster ready for mounting and without gauges, it will be easir to build one yourself, diameter are not the same. 52 or 54mm are a standard, as it seems.

 

My concern with it being 6v had to do with the fact if it came with 12 volt back light bulbs. I didn't want to put a resistor in line or change the bulbs if there was a 6volt option.

Walt - Thank you! Those will do nicely.

Type multiple gauges in the search panel for RockAuto. Less than $40 for a three gauge set.

While we are on the subject of gauges, I am trying to locate a Stewart Warner Stage III Oil Pressure Gauge, either electrical or mechanical. Need to match my other gauges. Can any one help?

Local auto parts store (NAPA) had the exact 3 gauge unit that was on my CJ5 when I bought it in 1976. It is so exact it is scary.

 

Get on SW's web site and find the gage number and then order from Summit. They just drop ship it. Allan, SW manufactures several different ohm ranges for fuel sender units and matching gages. The sender units are available in many different configurations for float swing and tank depths. Again, best to find part number directly from SW and order. Long gone are the days when I could go to any of the local parts houses and just pick most of that stuff up.

One other thing to consider is that most of SW's mechanical gages have a full 270 degree sweep while the electrical versions are only 90 to 120 degrees. The full sweep are more desirable, at least IMO, because a very quick glance tells the whole story.

I too like old school SW's.

 

The only problem is that Stage III gauges are no longer being made. They were popular in the late 70's
