My hat's off to whoever assembled the fuel and temp guages. Can't imagine building these all day. Both have broken wires and the fuel guage wires appear to be twisted together at the bi-metal spring. Any tricks to solder these?

Haven't tried that yet but did order a used gauge off ebay for a few bucks, they're basically all the same so you can use any gauge housing and transplant the gauge face.  Since you have nothing to lose, try a dab of solder but keep it small.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

If I remember, they were not soldered, they were kinda "arc" welded

Hello All, The end of the tiny gauge wires are actually "glued" to the bi-metalic strips.  It just has to make contact.  Steve
