I'm getting my gauges fitted next Wednesday with my first year service. I'm quite excited! If those pictures that austen posted are anything to go by, they are going to look fantastic 
I'm getting the subaru OEM newage centre pod and for all those that would like to see it... I'll get pics posted as soon as it is done!

Very pleased with mine, thanks again Austen.
Some good fitting instructions here.
Anyone know if either of the thread adapters supplied with the oil temp are suitable for the M18x1.5 bung over cylinder #3? What's the T-piece for?

I would love to fit them myself and get my hands dirty
But before I start taking things appart I would prefer to have a nice sheltered clean environment to work in..... and I worried about breaking something important

. I've ordered the bung from http://www.lemansmotorsport.co.uk/mo...ing_parts.htmland got the 18x1.5mm to 1/8 NPT bung (LM067).
For the oil pressure i have got a 100mm bit of pipe fitted with a 1/8 BSP male end to go in the block, the other end i have 1/8 NPT fitted into an 1/8bsp to 1/8 npt T piece (LMA057). The T piece then has a 1/8 NPT and 1/8 BSP fitting left to fit the original oil pressure switch and the new sender.
I've not actually fiited it all yet, its all sitting in the box waiting for some free daylight time!!

Think I'll be brave and give it a go myself though
Looks pretty straightforward.

Not only is it a bitch to get the broken thread out, but if you don't stop instantly your engine is fooked!!

For the oil temperature gauge I need:
ADAPTOR M18*1.5 to 1/8NPT LMA067 £3.70
For the oil pressure gauge I need:
OIL GAUGE T-PIECE 1/8BSP to 1/8NPT LMA057 £4.94
Do you have part numbers for the pipe and other adapters, does the pipe have to be made up by lemansmotorsport, or is this something I can do?
Thanks.

I'm not worried about a discount as the parts seem to be quite cheap anyway, but if it was left to me, I'd order about ten parts before I got the right one. 
Thanks again.
