    Default After market gauges

    Hey ppl, a quick question. Just brought some new gauges to fit, oil temp, oil pressure and voltmeter. What do I need to hook up the oil temp and oil pressure gauges, but also have the warning light on the dash continue to work. I think I've heard there is something that goes between the block and the oil filter that allows you to connect all 3, correct??

    Cheers

    yeah, you need an adapter T piece or something similar that will enable both to access the oil port.

    try autobarn or super crap, theyll be able to sort you out.

    Ok I made enquiries, and the places I went to couldnt help me. Apparently there is an adapter or part that fits between the oil filter and the block, allowing you to hook up 3 gauges, the after market oil temp and oil pressure gauges, and the factory one so the interio low oil warning still works. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to get it. Supercheap were use less, and we dont have Autobarn in WA. Cheers

    Have a look at Speco gauge accessories

    Adaptors for Speco Meter Automotive Gauges from Speco Thomas You want 547-51

    and Distributors Speco Thomas — Where to Buy Our Products

    I'd say you would have to order something like this in through any of those outlets, just give them the part number.

    Cheers
