There are many places to find the mechanical gauges. You could try Amazon or Ebay as two of many.

For a Jeep I got SunPro guages - including a Fuel Guage. I was sick of the "replace the fuel pump to see your fuel level issue" from china.

The SunPro mechanical: made in china. And it was highly defective: the slider always stuck and was designed so failures couldn't be repaired.

I ATE the 1st, then when the 2nd and 100% sure the unit was faulty design I called SunPro about re-imbursement. OWNERSHIP WAS "transferred to Germany" (funny, it says made in China). They told me to f'off they would never honor warrantee. Since they're in a foreign countyr I have 0 chance of recovering.

If you want that to happen to you: go ahead and buy Made in China mechanical or other guages

I like gauges. Tends to be you can pay 10x as much on Amazon and it's the exact same gauge as the $15 one.

If you want a gauge that works and lasts: make one yourself. If you don't care and are just having fun - buy a cheap chinese gauge.
