Jeff From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net] On Beh= alf Of kevin lane Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 11:41 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] mechanical gauges I was asking summit racing about their mechanical gauges, wondering if the = price included all the necessary parts. they told me that the oil pressure= and water temp hook up directly with an 1/8th" line that I cut to fit. I = questioned whether the water temp would work that way since water wouldn't = be circulating thru the line. do mechanical temperature gauges work that w= ay? I assumed there must be a sealed , fixed length bulb/line arrangement = that converts temp into line pressure? what are the pros/cons of using mechanical vs. electrical gauges?
