Hello all,

My gauges that attach to the main block in the fender wells are reading wonky and I would to replace them. I'm having a heck of a time sourcing center back mount gauges that are around the same dial size. I estimate the dial to be around 1". I would also like the gauge to register up to ~150 psi. If you know of anywhere, I would love to hear about it.

*I'm sure Jim K probably has them but the duties and shipping are a killer right now. I buy lots from Jim but stuff like this I try and source online or in Canada for the above mentioned reasons.

TIA

Shawn

Are not goods manufactured in USA, Canada, or Mexico
exempt from duty into any of the other countries?

Using USPS / Canada Post will eliminate the brokerage fees charged by UPS and others. The Customs people will still get you for the usual import taxes and provincial sales taxes charged on your end. What I usually do is label the item "Antique Auto part 1976 GMC" and mail any receipts or paperwork separately by first class mail. Also if is labeled a "gift" under $40.00, you will not be charged the import duty or the sales tax.
