Hi
Can someone help?
I am fitting a Smiths electrical temp gauge to an A+ 1275.
The gallery is approx 5/8.
Does anybody know the correct Tridon or VDO sender unit to use?

I don't think it's either, probably a Unipart item?

Don't forget that you need the regulator thingy to change the voltage from 12 to 10V, otherwise the gauge will read high

Not all Smiths gauges were 10V, the common aftermarket ones were 12V. My bro' fitted them to his Imp, they read fine with 12V supply.
