Temperature guage question

[SKIPPER1]

When I purchased my '49 P-17 Business Coupe, I noticed the engine temperature guage on the dash did not register when the car was driven.

Checked under the hood and found that the linkage from the temp.guage to the engine block was disconnected.

My question is: can this connector be soldered onto the engine block (which I assume houses the indicating bulb or sensing device), or will I need to replace the complete connector wire, sensing device,Etc??

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
