Question

I just purchased the following Auto Meter gauges:
Manual Boost Gauge.
Electrical Oil Pressure.
Electrical Oil Temp.

The boost gauge should be no problem, but any guides on fitting the oil gauges?

The instructions say to replace the oil switch, but theres no 'pass-through' on the sender units. Am I going to have to start drilling holes to fit the senders?

All help gratefully recieved.

James.

Which ones did you get.
I'm about to buy the same as you in the sliver finish.

Cool

I got the Auto Meter Phantom 52mm Gauges (they're the White faced ones).

I belive the Silver faced are the Ultra-Lites. I thought about those, but decided to match the dash. They look top notch and came with required parts for fitting although I think I may need to buy a brass 'T' piece for Oil Pressure (will check when I get home).

They seem to be good quality and the price difference between Mechanical and Electrical was negligible. I went for Electrical as I didnt really fancy Oil lines running behind the dash

I purchased the gauges from Reel Steel - 01895 440505. They fit perfectly into GGR's 3 gauge centre pod a la Bob Iles.

Prices were:

Turbo Boost PSI (Mech) - 45.86
Oil Pressure PSI (Elec) - 49.88
Oil Temp (Elec) - 38.00

All including VAT.

Now for the fun of fitting them

James.
