Hey all.
I've got some aftermarket gauges going into my car.
I've got three going under my headunit. They are: Oil Pressure, Water Temp and Vaccum.
I've also got a Monster Tacho I want to mount up on the drivers sound pillar.
My question is, How much should I be looking at to get these installed by an auto elec?
There's no way in hell I would ever consider doing it myself as I am no way electrical minded.
Furthermore, Does anyone have any experience doing so and want to make some cash helping me?
Thanks.

Get your flame suit you will need it. Is your car turbo or super charged? Oil pressure is easy enough you can get a plate that bolts between the oil filter and gives a reading afaik. Water temp same thing you can piggy back off the stock one afaik. Don't quote me but.

I know mate, but honestly, I really couldn't give less of a shite what people think of my car nor what I do to it. As far as I'm concerned, a monster tacho in a N/A 6 Cylinder car looks no where near as stupid as a car lowered only at the back with 22" chromies at the front and pov spec stockies at the back, which is what every second vn/vs commodore looks like on here.
Thanks for the info though mate.
Anyone got any quotes on how much this would cost to get done by an auto elec?

Thanks for the links mate. It seems fairly straightforward, but I don't really have an adequate space to work on the car nor the patience and skills to do a job.
Looks like a job for an auto elec.
