Default temp gauge

I would like to fit a temp gauge to my 33,
I have one fitted now ,but only on one bank.
I would like to fit a dual temp gauge so I can read both banks.
A unit that has the two in one would be nice.
They would need to be mechanical.
Any ideas where to get one.I have looked but must be looking in the wrong place.
Thanks Lawrie

Are you trying to fit this in the original oval opening in the dash? The original Ford dual temp has a fuel and temp unit together and adding another temp would be next to impossible if not impossible.Eliminate the fuel unit and fitting another temp might be possible.

No, I just want a VDO style one to fit up under the dash and leave the dash stock.

I don't know how feasable it is on a 33 gauge but for my 36 I was going to try and put 2 of the glass tubes next to each other and open up the slot in the face of the gauge a little so both can be seen, I havn't made it yet but I have thought if there is a slight visibility problem because they are mounted back some a led back light could make them more visible ---it's past the parts gathering phase but waiting for other projects to be finished,

Westach has a square 2-1/4 inch dual water temp unit - P/N 2DA3-7 for $131. Jason, your SW is much better looking.
