Just bought some gauges and was thinking about wiring them up myself, but the instructions are useless! Any info/pics on how to wire up the oil temp and oil presure gauges? The voltmeter im asuming is just the +ve and -ve connections.

you need to get an adapter so the oil temp and pressure will work in the same bit as the original oil pressure warning light switch?

Wiring them in is easy, plumbing them in is harder. Do you have any attachments for connecting them to the engine? Are they mechanical or electric gauges?

Fitting the temp sensor to get an accurate reading is a pain. You cant use the oil pressure point for the oil temp as there is no oil flow there, you'll get a crap reading. Your best bet is to either tap the sump or tap the sump plug.
