while installing new temp gauge on my 48 CJ2a, it appears that I somehow broke the sending unit on the head and it doesn't work now. The gauge is new and will probably work fine if I can install a new cable and sending unit. Do you sell these seperately? Maybe it would be cheaper just to buy the whole assembly and start over. What do you recommend.
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
If it broke the unit will need to be replaced. Please call us toll free and we can help.
