Does anyone know what style of temperature gauge was used on early Australian Mk1 Ss? The gauge that came with the car was this one.

Can't give you a pic but, according to the parts book, the Mark 1 Australian S's used BMC part 13H2137, which is Smiths part BT2204/04. It's black faced and made in the UK. The later gauges used on the MK II Series Minis were grey faced and Australian made. UPDATE: Bill - I see the file name on your first photo has the Smiths part number I showed above, so that's what was originally in the car. |

I thought they looked more like this Attachment: MK1 Cooper S Temp Gauge..jpg Here are a few from cars that look unrestored or pretty original.

Thanks for the replies. Personally, I thought, like gtogreen, that there were red and blue coloured 'flags' on the scale. But the gauge I have with the coloured 'flags' is not exactly the same as the photo examples. I'm wondering if there was an early gauge used first (BT2204/04 without coloured flags, as winabbey refers to) then replaced by one with flags? I realise it's not an important issue, especially as I just want a temperature gauge that works. Be nice if close to original. Out of interest, the Smiths model number is printed under the front plate. Attachment: ktrb8mtn.png

Bill, you are more than welcome to these face plates, if they are of any use. Came from a non-functioning mk1 gauge with broken glass. No use to me. |
