[DeTomaso] Techno question: Veglia Oil TEMP gauge and compatible oil temp sender

[Thomas Tornblom]

It would be easy to check if the senders are the same. Someone having 
both gauges, preferably not installed, hook both instruments up to +12V 
and use some resistors instead of the sender to verify that both gauges 
show the same temp for the same resistance value.

Anyone have an original Detomaso Veglia oil temp gauge they are willing 
to part with? Perhaps I should go back to the Veglia gauges again now 
that I don't have a cooling issue?

Cheers,
Thomas
