most decent gauges are electrical have a look on the ebay at auto gauges i think one of the sellers id is momoitaly http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MomoItaly-Club
have a look it that shop an look at the ones in $ as thay work out a few quid cheaper that the ones in euro's or £
mech oil pressure are a pain to fit as you need to install a capilery line (norm copper pipe)from the block to the gauge

i have done the oil press one but not temp so not to sure i used this thread as a guide.......

worst ways its 5/6 wires 2 to the sender 1 switch live 1 ground 1 illum from the gauge
i read somewhere on here oil temp can be taken from the sump nut (sender in place of the sump nut ?????)dont know how true it is tho
the proper way to take oil press/temp is from a sandwich plate on the oil filter take off but thay have a habit of leaking

Go with electrical gauges, mechanical gauges allow oil up to the gauge so I'm told and get get messy if there is a leak.
