It brings the volts down to the correct level to operate the gauge,or it may just go to "full" all the time. I also think that the sender has to match the gauge. Have a look at speedycables site(I think) it used to have the info on there.Or maybe Car Builder Solutions site they have a lot of tips/info in their online catalogue and may have it in there.If you google "how to fit a temp gauge to an early Mini" or summat like that it also gives info on how to wire. Done it a few times but always have to look it up again!

The new prices are a bit high! best to try it out first TBH . If the needle moves when its connected momentarily to 12v then it'll probably be ok.I think its summat to do with the gauge number on the face as to how you match it to a sender.

So did it help?
Seems you've built a fuzzy Reliant. Either that or I really do need to go to SpecSavers
-actually, I do.
