Default Inlet temp gauge, where from? Types?

Seen some people who have these gauges, those little digi ones.

Where are people getting them from and are there any others to consider?

I would guess RS Components or Demon Tweeks.

I personally have mine with a dual SPA Gauge.

yup,i got the maplins one, but it only goes upto 70 degrees,but hey,if it gets that hot,i`ll slow down i guess !

u just need to solder a wire on th eback to make it cycle every 1 second,otherwise it cycles every 15 seconds

Temperature Module

Here you go from the maplins web site,check for your local stockist,or do what i did and give them a bell to deliver.... less than £15 and a little soldering and its good to go

You want the module,bezel and temp probe underneath....

That one looks better but it isnt, only telling u every 15 seconds isnt really ideal when u need to know now now now what the temp is,the other one is every second so much better and accurate.

it only needs soldering across pin 1 and 8 or something like that, at the top of the unit there are copper connections,its across here the wire goes.

read the leaflet,it tells you in there,its the brass/copper segments at the TOP of the unit the wire goes across,think its 1 and 8 or something like that to make it register every 1 second.
