extra guages

not sure where the sender is but you have to put in a new sender for the extra guages (spoke to a performance shop- torque power who tuned my car) i did this exact install, not alot of info around on it. for power-ignition/light/earth connections use the circarette plug bottom of console on the right, when you take the panel off the plug slides forward to remove from its mount, either get the plug to suit or use some insulated crimps to fit. I fitted my sender just above oil filter, there is a small triangular shaped fitting bolted to engine, I drilled and tapped this to suit the sender thread (1/8 NPT) i think. I actually bought another from holdens and did it so if i stuffed up the car wasn't off the road, part about $30, gasket to suit $32, not at home at present otherwise could send you pic's, part no. etc will be home wednesday if you still want any further info, JHP sells an adaptor also for this, remove above part and replace with theirs, can buy seperately from their guage kit

Guys, you can get a fitting like a double adaptor that's fits the existing sender bung. You screw 2 senders into it. I have ordered one but not received it yet. Not at home at the moment but will post a link to the site. Not sure but I think JHP may have them as well.
