Full Version: Group buy 914 dip stick temperature gauges
David.
I just received my 914 dip stick gauge & thanks for everything.
Looks good, haven't installed it yet, but assume it fits the hole??
I am a little surprised about the dial size, I was thinking it would be larger. No problem, I just need to put my glasses on.

Hi David,
Interesting, my needle is parking in the same location. I was wondering if it was a defect. Ok, now it's normal & same as yours.
Really great purchase.
Thanks,
Tom
...so second run? ![popcorn[1].gif](http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

PM 's have been sent to the participants of the first run. I will give everyone a week to order. Because I anticipate that some people will change their mind and not order I will send payment instructions to those next in line. As far as a second or third run Bob has not yet committed.
Thanks
David
I will get a final count and notify the next people in line tomorrow. I will also inquire about a second run.

Sounds like he needs to be thinking about maybe a third run, too.
GA, who tossed hit hat into the ring via PM some time ago...
Just to recap since it was a while ago, I'm in.

I believe it would park at ambient temperature unless engine is at temperature from use.
Got mine today. My only complaint is that it does not measure low enough to show actual temp during winter..... 
I just sent a PM to a few more members with the payment instruction for the dip stick temperature gauges because a few of the members never ordered theirs.
It looks very favorable that there will be a second run

I have always wanted one of these but when I contacted Mainely by design he had no more and was not sure if he was going to even make any more. I have gotten enough interest that he is willing to make another run of 50. Originally he told me that I needed to get 24 members to commit. Well I now have 33 members who have expressed interest.
The current price is 49.95 and after the group buy the price will be going up.
Bob is about 3 weeks before all of his subcomponents will arrive and he can start building the parts for us. Please hold tight once he is ready to ship I will post payment instructions.

Mine came yesterday. Thanks for organizing this!
I don't think it's an issue, but thought I'd check.
My Mainely gauge sits a bit loose in the dip stick holder. Is this an issue? Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm so used to using force to push in or pull out the old dipstick that this one seemed odd. It falls right in, no "pinch" when it's all the way in. It has very little play at the bottom of the stick, from what I can tell. But at the top where the dip stick tube flares out there is about 1/8" play.
Thoughts?

I have 3 of these that I just received, and with all of them the rubber seal slips over the dip stick tube for a perfect fit and seal.
I was not aware there was a rubber seal for the dipstick.
I guess that solves that. Now hopefully this part is not NLA.

Did yours not come with the rubber sleeve at the top ????
If I understand what Jorge is saying, he did not realize there was a rubber sleeve at the top of the dipstick. That sleeve is tight and you need some force to get it to seat correctly.
Jerry - Thanks for that last bit of info I needed to figure out what I was missing. I guess mine accidentally got shipped without the rubber sleeve.
I just talked to Bob at Mainely, what a great guy. He's putting one in the mail for me.

Got mine, but I have to say, the gauge is pretty small, exactly the same size as a quarter. My poultry thermometer is bigger.
Not sure if I could read this without reading glasses. Yeah, I'm an old F&#k.

Yeah, but let's face it, if your poultry runs hot it could be a ruined Thanksgiving, and cranky family members. Now THAT's a disaster.
It's not a huge gauge, and I didn't think I'm that old, but apparently I am as I also need my glasses to read it. BUT...it's good to have it so I can check the temp if I want to!I need to see if I have that rubber sleeve thing as well, as I didn't feel like it sat in the tube particularly well either.
Rob - I'd rather toast the roast.

For Sale: Hey, I got one and it works fine, but I have changed my mind..... I do not want to use it. I paid $59.94 with shipping.
If you are willing to buy it, that is what I would like to get. I saved the mailer and the paperwork inside, you get that too.
