more info to help you search withI'm looking for an interior / exterior temp gauge that would fit in one of the cut-outs for the rocker switches in the dashboard (44mm x 22mm). Anyone have any luck tracking something like that down. I bought one of these but it doesn't quite fit (too small). Any suggestions great appreciated.

@Guruman: I've poked around a bit looking for adapters - the temp gauge that I bought is for a Toyota or Hilux (and unfortunately the only dual gauge temps I can find seem to be made for Toyota) and they seem to have a weird proprietary size (either 40.5mm x 22mm or 33mm x 22.5m) and I can't find an adapter for them. There are plenty of adapters for type L rockers to type V rockers but none that really fit the gauge I have.I'm looking for an interior / exterior temp gauge that would fit in one of the cut-outs for the rocker switches in the dashboard (44mm x 22mm).

cut size. Though you might try Rome Truck in GA. Lot of folk get their LMTV OEM-ish switches from there.....
@coachgeo: Was there a link in your post or were you sharing the cut-out size (sorry if I missed something).

I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1WH2X34Who makes this?
I really appreciate the footwork and wish the solution was that easy. The only temp gauges I have been able to find are for Toyota/HiLux which appear to have an odd proprietary rocker cut-out size (40.5mm x 22mm) so very close to the L-Series cut-out but different enough that it doesn’t fit. I thought about tryin to to modify and V-series adapter but I don’t think that will work either.The rocker cutouts in the LMTV dash are "Series-L"
1.734” x . 867” [44.0mm x 22.0mm]
The more common automotive rocker is a "Series-V"
.83" x 1.45" [21.08mm x 36.83mm]
So you want an adaptor for a Series-V switch to fit into a Series-L cutout. It seems that like those crazy military engineers, the crazy Canadians use the L-series in their Polaris vehicles (which means there is a demand). Given that the thermometer you posted displays in "C" (which appears to be Canadian for "cold" or something) it should work.
With that little tidbit of knowledge, I was able to find the adaptors in several places:

This is the one that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1WGSTNG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1Who makes this?
I think "Type B" in the link is the size you're looking for. Look like there is a difference in size from "Type A" and "Type B".This is the one that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1WGSTNG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
They do have a different bezel design and clip. I think both are 22x33, though.I think "Type B" in the link is the size you're looking for. Look like there is a difference in size from "Type A" and "Type B".
When I select Type B the size changes.They do have a different bezel design and clip. I think both are 22x33, though.
A & B is just the distinction between normal and the communist format.
