cheap gauges

Post by brendan_h »

im looking into getting an oil temp gauge. but first i just want to see what the oil runs out and then i will decide if i want to get a gauge. so i was just looking on ebay and found a cheap oil temp gauge. what do you think just for a tempree setup?

the smoke series are ok for cheapies. not sure about the oil one, the biggest thing will be the sensor and how to fit it.
they look a bit werid and the change in back lighting when you have your lights on i still have to work on. as standard it doesn't change brightness much.

its only going be in for a few weeks or whatever.

my plan was to drop the sump (may be leaking on the gasket too) and silversolder a the approprient brass socket on the bottom of the sump or on the upper bit of the sump
