im about to start working on a custom setup for these gauges, im just gonna do the water temp, oil pressure, and volts for now. the people that ive talked to who have used em say theyre as good as their autometers. they sell them at oreillys and theyre 49.99 for the triple 2" panel.

Where did you say you found the gauges? Do they have a website? And did I read right - $49.00 for the set of 3?



Many people say to stay with Mechanical Gauges because they are more accurate, but I've heen having a hard time finding a set of mech gauges that both look great and I can afford. I've also read some reviews that say electrical gauges are becoming more reliable. Besides right now I'm running a mechanical oil pressure gauge and the damn thing is always leaking.

You tightened it too much, slide that little collar up a bit and trim off the end of the hose. Or maybe you got a bad gauge ....
