Hey guys, im in abit of a situation with a set of gauges im trying to install. I have the oil temp, volt and air/fuel gauge to connect and i dont know where to start, and i also dont want to pay some mechanic to do it if i could do it myself. :rofl:

So i was just wopndering if anyone here could be kind enough to help me out. Itll be much appreciated.

I have a sorta basic diagram of the volt and oil temp installation but not very helpful. Just wondering where the oil temp sensor would be, anyone know?

And where do i start with the air/fuel ratio?

Any help would be great guys. :laugh:

Cheers,

Steve.

usually an oil temp gauge requires a sending unit to be placed somewhere that comes in contact with the oil. You can buy these oil filter sandwhich plates from justjap for $30 post-29295-1169102545.jpg , then the sending unit from the gauge gets screwed into the plate itself. Here is another diagram from the autometer website post-29295-1169102669.jpg . go to the instructional download section on the site and have a look at some of their instructions. it really depends which type of gauge you are using, mechanical or electronic. they differ a little...

Looks like ill be heading for the proffesionals, decided not to play with it before i do something wrong and be back here asking to solve my problems again, lol >_<

So i thought id ask if anyone here recommends anyone for these sorts of electrical setups and the price range im looking at getting it done?

Cheers,

Steve.

ye no doubt, i pretty much got it for the looks more than anything.

The quicker i get them connected the quicker i can complete my console, so any suggestions on where to go in melbourne, or just any mechanics joint?

Cheers,

Steve.
