Searched and couldn't find what i needed.. (swap related so i posted here, sorry if it should be in the interior/elec)
I'm installing an oil pressure gauge and a water temp gauge.. they are both electric and were made by prosport. My questions are... do i need to tap into things for the probes/senders or are there stock places i can bolt these into? Or..... should i tap the wires off of the stock sensors?

ok so i thought it was too xpensive to buy one of the radiator hose pieces to mount my temp sensor for the water temp gauge. So i went to home depot, bought a 3 inch long peice of 1inch pipe from the plumbing department. Its the kind that is threaded on both ends. Then i went home and found out what size tap i needed and borrowed a friends taps and drilled a hole and tapped the correct threads in.
Then i screwed my temp gauge in, and inserted the whole thing into my top radiator hose ![]() total cost: 94 cents total time: 30 minutes give or take For the oil pressure gauge im just going to suck it up and buy the tuner toy piece, unless i can get clever and figure out some cheap effective way.. |
