Electric Oil Pressure Gauge, And Ammeter

[66yostagea]

I want to fit these gauges. I plan to mount them in the ashtray space, (who smokes?) but where to fit in the engine?

Its a S1 auto.

Any help please? Cheers

i have an oil presure gauge ,not yet fitted but i know u need an extra part. its a coupling between the oil filter and where it screws up to the plate and it allows the oil pressure sender to be srewed in. not shure where to get this part yet

when positioning those guages.. just make sure you dont position them too low because this will cause you to take your eyes off the road for longer than is desirable

Maybe look at those Meercat/mearcat guage pods? and mount them up near the dash somewhere?

lol 20% of male babyboomers according to smh today.

anyway.....the voltmeter just needs ignition, earth and maybe headlights on so its easy. the easiest way to do the oil pressure gauge is to install a remote relocator for the fuel filter at the same time it will have fittings for the sender.

or you can pick up adapters so you can put it next to the standard pressure sender, vdo make one for instance (pirtek) but you will need to know the thread for the new sender and the standard one.

Yeah, like Duncan has mentioned, it's not a bad idea to fit an oil filter relocation kit when you do the oil pressure gauge. I bought one of the rust GReddy ones. The lines are Earls ones with braided covers, so they're a bit hard to manipulate when you're fitting it on, but it's worth it in the end so that your oil changes are that little bit easier.

Just make sure you check that there are no leaks when you are done...
