DaveB66 Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi Jo The fuel gauge is electric, I've just replaced the tank and the sender unit is the same as the one in my TR6. I'm almost certain that the temperature gauge is electric but will check and let you know. All the best Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Jo. As stated above the wiring diagrams would suggest this - yes. others with early TR4's may confirm. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-eichert Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yes, it looks like the mechanical one from the TR3 but uses the same inner mechanics as the later (TR4) types), the sensor is identical. Â Johannes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB66 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi Jo Have had a look at the TR and I can confirm that it's electric with the sender in the thermostat housing. It seems that the long needle gauges in the early TR4s look very similar to those fitted to earlier TRs when fitted, but have different inner workings. According to Rimmers website the change from long needles to short needles for the gauges happened at chassis number CT15053(RHD) & CT11308 (LHD). Good luck sorting your gauges out Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david ferry Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Jo, I have a number of gauges, some TR2/3 and some TR4. I have had a quick look and do have a correct early TR4 domed glass oil pressure gauge PL2561/00. I also have a Lucas ammeter that looks to be correct. If anyone else is reading this, I have a sidescreen fuel gauge X49422/220, another fuel gauge FG2520/20 and another Lucas ammeter. I also have a rev counter RC163, which is correct for a sidescreen car. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gerry40 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi Jo, I have a pretty early 1961 TR4 ( 286th built ) it has the long gauges and they are illuminated via the top two pods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
