Atlanta Air Salvage
1146 Uniform Road, Griffin, GA 30224 (800) 237-8832 (From Internet) Air Parts of Lockhaven Piper Memorial Airport, Hangar 3, Lockhaven PA, 17745 (717) 748-0823 (1995 data) Both of the above companies have repaired or replaced fuel gauges in our old panel. I think Atlanta Air Salvage sent them out to another company. Cost, as I recall, averaged about $82.50 to $115 per gauge for rewinding or replacement. Unfortunately, they just kept burning up. There is an AD (70-15-02) requiring a cooling duct be added to the instrument cluster. This duct is attached to a Y connector which is installed in line with the duct attached to the right side radio cooling scoop. Unfortunately, this does not provide adequate cooling air when on the ground. I replaced the entire cluster with a replacement which I bought from Mitchell Instruments. Take a look at the technical data page of this web site. The download is about 10 MB, but I have had no problems with fuel guages since I installed this unit. Good Luck. PS: When you reinstall the cluster, don't forget to reattach the oil pressure lines. I can tell you, from experience, it gets real messy if you don't.
