I have a small-red-scale combo temp gauge 914 641 101 50 - I've modified a couple of things including adding an LED indicator in the previously dead space and LED lighting.
Wondering about numbering the temp scale. Someone check my math - according to https://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/zTN_Elect_OilTempGauge2.jpg - this confirms the calibration markings on mine: 30 on the bottom line, 156.7 at the bottom of the red scale and 170 at the mid point of the red. So - extrapolating from that: 30c and 170c at the top That's a 140c swing - so that puts it 100c in the center with 65c at the 1/4 mark and 135 at the 3/4 mark - right? Converting to F: +/- 85 on the bottom, 150f at 1/4, 210 at 1/2, 275 at 3/4 and 335 at the top - right? Like this: This is assuming 200c sender and jives with the Bowlsby.net info. I reached out to https://www.heiler-tachodesign.de and they responded with the mock-up - but I was just sort of throwing numbers out there - but I think I'm close with this? Suggestions? Should I leave the bottom "85" off as it's basically meaningless or should I leave it for symmetry? Or....am I way off here?! |
