Im running an Autometer pyro (Cobalt Series) on my BJ40 which is a good quality guage but maybe not the best value on the market.
I got mine unused in box of a mate for 150+ a couple of beers but normally the gauge and probe will set you back 300 or more. Most speed shops will have them or order them in for you.
VDO and the like are generally about 50-75 cheaper but not as BLING.
Check out
http://www.thermoguard.com.au/ for a nice digital gauge and theres stuff on ebay too.
Just do a search for 'pyro' and you will find heaps of info.
cheers.

I have the Stuart Warner one
works great
Can't remember the price
but it wasn't expensive compared to the other brands - VDO and alike
Got it from a hotrod shop in Sth Brisbane - Springwood - Moss Street
Recommended as the best or second best at every store i went to; that sold me

VDO - they make very high quality gear (according to the rep - of course, he could be biased
They are also one of the cheapest (compared to Autometer / DiPricol etc.) ...
Pyro's are expensive, unfortunately!

i just read the little write up about the jaycar sensor and i like the way you can have it activate a relay at a certain temperature for a thermo fan or water mister or a warning buzzer. now being a lazy man i like anything that can do the thinking and react for me and the price is right too!
