    fuel and oil.
    mechanical temp gauges are no problem.
    mechanical boost gauge is probably not a problem, but would depend on the interpretation at the time....

    fuel and oil mech gauges have no place in a street car cabin

    anyone think to look o the autometer site?
    Designed and proven to be the most durable gauges on the planet, liquid filled mechanical gauges use our standard top of the line and extremely durable 270 degree sweep Pro-Comp mechanical gauge movements and fill them with a liquid silicone compound for extreme vibration dampening and smooth pointer movement.

    , i guess i just got lucky then...

    maybe you could use glycerine or whatever (since it is just to provide friction to the needle so it doesn't quiver), but you may as well get them filled properly (for some large proportion of the cost of new ones )

    or run them without and see how much the needle wiggles?

    do you really need to fill it up?
    i can't really see there being any problem with just draining whats left of the fluid and being done with it

    yeah thanks for all your help guys.

    i may as well fill it up. il probably give glycerine a try (much cheaper than getting it repaired)

    i too went onto the autometer site but couldn't find any replacement fluid, and the guy at advan performance siad autometer dont make it anyway
