Oil Pressure Gauge - What's Required?

[Simon_16v]

Hey,

Looking at getting a couple of gauges for my Clio for this years trackdays, looking at oil temperature and pressure.

What additional items/sensors are needed to make these sensors work?

Thanks

Gauges will come with the sensors and senders if there new, you will also need a sandwich plate to fit them.

Okay, so the main extra thing required would be a sandwich plate? I take it these will be car specific?

 

[AdDaMan]

not car specific but thread specific.

I would get mechanical as electric ones don't last long

No, cheap electric ones dont last long. Decent ones do.

Not true, as said depends on quality.

Used defi and Spa electronic gauges and both have been spot on.

Has anyone got a link to a decent a pillar gauge pod?
