Sender for this gauge

Hi, I have this gauge, and I am trying to find out what sender works with it, how to get it, maybe a part number if possible. Thanks!

Look on the Bay, you should be able to find the full kit with the gauge and sending unit, it was sold as a complete kit by HD back when.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that gage works like a thermometer. The cable that connects it to the fron head is a column of mercury. The connection at the head is no more than a ceramic piece that looks like the top of a spark plug. On my '68, a hole was drilled into one of the center fins above the spark plug hole, and the ceramic connection was nut and bolted through that hole. To get mine working years ago, I contacted a local manufacturer, Taylor Instrument, to see about having a custom connection made. It never happened, and I sold the whole gage kit (ammeter, oil pressure and head temp.)
