What is the third guage

[101RRS]

Australian 101s have three centre dashboard instruments in holes cut into the metal. The two closest to the driver are the two ammeters but I do not know what the gauge closest to the passenger is supposed to be.

Anyone know what the hidden gauge is? I don't believe brit 101s have this mystery gauge.

hi as i have been told by steven who used to own my 101 it was for the second voltage meter for the other supply ??
go figure i could be wrong as mine has LPG fuel gauge there
so there you go... good luck

Looking at the above pic the extra guage is a VDO brand judging by the shape of the bezsil.
My 101 has had no extra guage other than the two standard items for the radio gear.
I suspect it is a post army add on.

Mine has the hole that has an after market oil pressure gauge but the hole lines up perfectly with the other two ammeters. I also have a fourth hole that is clearly made after army service as it does not line up at all.

:D:D

Or it was made by me - cut twice, measure once. Hang on, I think I have that the wrong way around! :(

Haha - actually Ron I did not put this one in - but I did put one in last week to the right of the ammeters for a clock - it lined up perfectly but the hole was a little oval when I finished. The bezel around the clock hides the lack of finesse.:)

Should I gauge your spelling ability based on the thread title "guage"? :angel:

At least it's not a Range Rover "Vouge" as many write it...:p

Yeah yeah - I was wondering how long it was going to take before you picked that up :) - you are getting slow in your old age :cool: - at least it is correct in the actual initial post.

Or.

Is there some sort of other "initial post"? :D :D :D

Hi Gary

I believe the third guage would have been a vacuum guage for the brakes on the powered trailer variant that didn't catch on. I've got a picture somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it.
