FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

On sifting threw a pile of FE/FC stuff I found a set of tell Tale gauges, But they are different to the typical type, these are metered , all 3 have needle guages not just a small light, Are these a Nasco accesory , as they are not listed, this is the panel van they were in FC2104 9659 A..TRIM 351 652  PAINT256 2031   TOP 333. Where they factory fitted , as I have all the fittings as well, and they appear so.   Any info about these telltales , will be much appreciated . Also a rough guide to the availability/ price of same?      THANKS SLIM ....   Its amazing what you find when you look  :o :o :o

Slim,

They're not a Nasco accessory, but were made by Wilson Manufacturing.  They're known as a "Wilsonia Guage", and there is a pic and information about them in our Accessory section ($2).

As far as value is concerned, they originally sold for a bit over 7 pounds, so I'll give you $20 for it. Sound fair?  Didn't think you'd go for that.  They're worth what someone will pay for them, but I've seen them go for $200.  Depends upon condition, yada yada.

That "333" code means the tailgate glass was factory fitted, FWIW.  Punch all the numbers into the ID plate page ($2) and see what it tells you.

Hope that helps,

Thanks gents just had a look in the tech section and found the Wilsonia guages bit, to answer a few of my questions, much appreciated    SLIM :o :o :o

Slim - yours sound very interesting if all 3 are guages!
The normal common garden variety Wilsonia guage that you could buy in most milk bars in 1959 has a amp guage, a temp light and a oil pressure guage.
I have never seen one with all 3 guages - can you confirm that yours actually has 3 guages
