the temp gauge feeds from the voltage stabiliser (64 below), through the instrument (46), to the sender (47), then to earth.

see attached!

What keith said. The voltage regulator has a double terminal ,one for the fuel gauge and one for the tempiture gauge. What Austin did when fitting the oil pressure gauge was to then use the wire for the oil warning light to feed the tempiture gauge instead.
