Hello, all.  

Have run in circles in the restoration process around gauges.  The original 
Temperature Gauge had a snipped capillary, so swapped out for a (TR-4?) 
electric temp gauge.  Converted to an altenator, so the Amp Gauge doesn't do 
anything.  Bought a series of fuel gauges from e-bay after the original stopped 
working.  Sent the whole mess to Mo-Ma but over $700 later, attempts to coax 
cooperation from a guy with an accent and attitude there,and a fuel gauge that 
stopped working after 6 months, I am ready to call it quits.

Am thinking of converting to SunPro 2 inch gauges with black dials and chrome 
bezels, which are a nice match for the car.  Only thing that may not be 
convertible is the fuel guage, which has to match with the sending unit.

Has anyone ever swapped out their standard Triumph gas sending unit by 
retrofitting a mounting plate?  Advice on a sending unit?
