MX-5 Gauges and Fitting
 
I have sourced some DEFI's for the Scoob and now have the Prosport 52 mm Gauges spare. I have seen gauges sold and fitted for the MX-5 but cannot find a how to fitting guide. I was looking at fitting the Oil Temp, pressure and a matching coolant temp gauge. I take it that the electrics will wire up as normal from the cigarette lighter and normal feeds?

I have the fascia adaptor plate and all is ready to go. It's a K Plate JDM Eunos Roadster 1.6, manual.

Any help is appreciated.

All as you would with the scoob Ian,ignition live,plenty of earths around the dash area and a source from the lights for the illumination:thumb:

Thanks mate. I was wondering where the sensors would fit. I have a sandwich plate for oil temp put where would the pressure go?

I could splice in on the coolant temp just like a sScoob.

There is sure to be an plug you can pop out in the block and get one of those's adapters to insert the pressure sensor,without looking though I can't say exactly where mate.
The other option is another sandwich plate with 2 outlets and have the pressure one in with the temp?
