Oil Pressure Gauge
Does anyone know of a source for the original style Rochester (Scott made by Rochester?) oil pressure gauge for a 1955 B-model. Mine is putting an oil sheen on the panel below the gauge, yet the fitting is perfectly dry, so I’m suspecting the bourdon tube is failing.

(I know this isn’t what you’re asking….)
I once replaced such a gauge…and to keep the original look…. used a knife-blade to peel up the rim, slip the glass aside…. swapped out the face behind the needle… reassembled.
