Gauges

Post by Merlin » Fri May 24, 2013 10:06 pm

The gearbox (M2F5) was dropped off at the gearbox builders but it only just got there. The clutch on my 5th gen gave out 5 miles from the place :evil: But I got the car to the place and back home.

With the 5th gen problems to sort I'll have to see how much can be done to the fourth :(

Anyway my gauges and triple pod turned up. The only issue to overcome is that the oil and water temperature sensors are 1/8 NTP whereas the OEM water temp gauge sensor hole is 1/8 BSP :? I might have to get some sort of adapter :?

Nice gauges Merlin ! What kind of interior dash colours you are using ? Do they match ?
Where are you putting your gauge pod ?
Why not A pillar, or centre console of behind the visier :rock:

I have seen that Demon Tweeks do them for £15 each.

The pod is going where the centre dash fans and AC controls were. The A pillar wasn't an option as I have no interior other than the dash and it would get in the way of a roll cage.

The only reason why I went fore yellow is that it will be easy so see :D

Cheers for that kind offer sam. I had a quick look at my oil temp gauge today and it looks to come with a shed load of adapters, so I recon I'll be alright :) Thanks again though bud.
