I'm looking at getting an oil temp/pressure gauge, but I wondered what sort of electrical connections were on the back of these gauges.
Does anyone have the installation notes for this? if so, do you have access to a scanner or fax?
One other thing; is the bezel removable?

Yeah, they look the dogs danglies 
Just went for Oil Temp/Pressure to go along with my mechanical boost gauge.
I've been told they come with all the cables and senders, but are they threaded for the Scoob or did you need to buy any adapters to fit the senders?

You will need the adapter for the temp probe if you are going into the bung above No3 cylinder, Oil pressure sender will fit straight on AFAIK to the hole which currently is used for the low pressure switch. if you still want to retain the oil low pressure, you will need some sort of T piece.
Hope that helps

I got my adapter from ScoobyMania, that is for the oil way above No3 cylinder, temp prode is 1/8 NPT, Pressure is under the alternator, this is 1/8 NPT too but according to SPA (instruction manual) 1/8 BSP will fit. This has also been confirmed on here, can't find the thread though.
I have the gauges but haven't yet had a chance to fit so I am only telling you the information I have collected to do the fit myself.

No problem
BTW I fitted an adapter to the original pressure sender point and 'T'd off it to fit the new sender and original pressure sender together in the original place between alternator and power steering header tank.
Had some spare fittings which i'd had for years kicking about, so used them. Had a look a wee while ago but nothing suitable left to help you out. Sorry
You don't really need the original sender anyway,cause the gauge can be set to flash up any low oil pressure level you want.
