Oil Temperature Guage

Postby adamjp » Mon Oct 09, 2006 11:15 pm

Has anyone had any success with mounting an oil temp guage in one of those A pillar pods available from the US?

I want to fit a temp guage, but cannot find anywhere to fit it. I use the pocket under the radio so the guage cannot go there.

Considering the air vent to the right of the steering wheel right now, any other suggestions?

Have a look at the previous thread on project boost. I've just done it. All I am awaiting is the connection at the engine end for the sensor. I picked up an AutoMeter Oil temp gauge (electric sender) off EBay for $90.
