Thanks, Lang. If anyone needs some NOS ones (bit rusty here and there from storage, but at least your doors should close properly) I have some available.

Default Keith

Your hinge appears to have a part number below the center hole.

Default M3 ?

Hi Keith - I think the fuel guage looks similar to an M3 General Grant ?

I recently gave one similar to the local museum for their M3

I would like to know for sure as I have another in my miscellaneous bits box...

Cheers

Phill

Default Stewart Warner Gauges

Hi Keith,

What Phill said.

Basically I use the rule of thumb that any Stewart Warner convex glass gauges may be Grant. The Grant had 2 x fuel gauges set into a box jutting forward off the engine bulkhead in the fighting compartment.

Regards

In that case, the bezel's "light cream colour" may actually be aged white, which would match the Grant's interior.

Default That sounds about right

Hanno sounds right. Also the gauges in the box face the right hand side of the hull.
