I think Autometer or SPA still sell guages like that. I think you can use the guages they have for a couple different things.

SPA dont go this sort of guage. They are pure digital.

Looking at this gauge I wouldnt think that its for I/C temp reading. Look at the temp range. Bit high for I/C. IMHO.

if you look closely it says "in" and "out" indicating inlet and outlet temps, and there are two senders.

also the auction said "intercooler temp gauge" hehe, oh yeah and it came from somone's fd

BTW, if the sensors are installed with hose clamps, they are probably similar to these:

those are EGT probes, there is a hole in the hose clamp which the flanged stem/collar thingy goes into, then you stick the sensors probe into the stem of the flange. When you tighten the hose clamp around the tube carrying whatever you wish to measure the temperature of, the flange gets bent around the contour of the tube which causes the stem to close up around the probe locking it in.

You can kindof see on the bottom sensor in the picture, the stem is slotted so it can close up when you tighten the clamp. You have to make sure you align the cut in the stem that created the slots so it is parallel with the tube, otherwise it won't close up when you clamp it down.

You also have to drill a hole in the tube you clamp it onto for obvious reasons.
