I have been looking for a VDO cylinder head temp. gauge with the under the spark plug sender and haven't been able to find one. Mine is no longer working and I kind of miss having it. Does anyone know where they can be bought?

I had been looking all over for one too. Couldn't find one - Automobile Atlanta guys referred me here - https://www.discountegauges.com i have one on order...supposed to be another week or two to get it - guy is super nice about it - having trouble with one of his suppliers but expects it to ship this week.

Things are impossible to find

Mine originally came I think fro:aircraft spruce. Never much liked mine cause it weren’t temp corrected.

I got the same runaround from "Timmy" at discountegauges.com. Ordered my CHT gauge and sensor 23 days ago with no indication of shipment and the same repeated story about problems with a supplier. Started feeling like I was the rube that just fell off the turnip truck, so cancelled my order today. To his credit, he did reimburse me immediately. I will try another order when I KNOW he has inventory to ship. Good luck.

I bought a sender and wiring from these guys. https://www.jbugs.com/ I'll try replacing this before I get a new gauge.

Carl vdo no longer makes the gauge. Dakota digital is the gauge you want much better.

Aircraft spruce Micro 1000, almost looks like a VDO and fits the same hole. You need the gauge, sender and the long extension harness. Temp corrected.
