Can't find classic era French ammeter

Post by Peugford »

For many years I have been looking for an ammeter to suit a 1939 Peugeot diesel engine conversion in a Fordson tractor. Yes, I know it is not a car! This is just a normal, round type in a sheet metal dashboard.
The electrics on the engine are Paris-Rhone. If they did not make instruments, who did? It seems inconceivable that there was not a French made meter. What brands should I be looking for?
Thanks for any information.

I think my Renaul 4 had Paris-Rhone instruments, certainly the starter was. (6V system, 600cc0

Thanks for the replies.
It looks like I should have done a bit more research. I hadn't thought of Veglia being French. Sounded Italian to me. Jaeger was a brand I should have thought of.
I will now keep a watch out for either of these brands, and the possibility of Paris-Rhone.
