Gauges look cool, do you think its worth doing them oil temp pressure mods?? Never had no oil issues with mine.
Exhaust hanger mods is a definite fail, will undo/snap in a few miles

I'll get the whole dash done if I can be bothered to remove it or mod another one to fit, which is unlikely.
Scott I wouldn't be doing them if I hadn't suffered problems but it doesn't hurt to know the temps/pressures of everything on proper calibrated gauges does it
Just been for a quick drive, new pressure gauge is nice and stable and reads the following when hot:
Idle 25psi
Cruising 50psi
Full throttle almost 75psi
Test drive also revealed the sender for my OE oil pressure gauge is knackered... It reads near full pressure when idling and flicks about all over the place! Very worrying!
Looking good matey, i like the position of the gauges, always a good idea to be able to keep an eye on whats going on .

Oil pressure should be as high as it goes at anything over 2500rpm IMO!Originally Posted by Iain

Yeah it was rising up to 75psi at higher revs, cruising was at quite low revs with no load.
Good work on the gauges, like where they are sat.
Why do you stillhave the dash sender fitted? if you removed it you could have fitted a sender in there.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Then the oil temp gauge would be lonely
If I do that it means I could have fitted the temp sensor in the back of the block and not have to order an M22 adaptor doh
Yeah that was my kinda point....

Oh gotcha thought you meant mount the new gauge in the dials housing!
Yeah I might do that anyway, light only sensor and temp sensor in the block. I'll need to buy another threaded adaptor anyway as I snapped one of them off in the block!
Got my oil temp sensor in the back of the oil pump, fits well there. Since the original gauge was utter rubbish and was misleading I have blanked it over and replaced it with a large red LED light tapped into the original oil low pressure light wires. It was only after doing this I realised I should have just fitted SR/i 4 dial gauges
And a couple of pics from today's outing in the sunshine!
