As per the title guys, I'm wanting to buy 3 x 52mm Autometer gauges to keep an eye on things.
I want to pull out the top centre air vents and replace them with one of those 3 gauge holders that slot straight in.
I've seen pictures of them but I've not yet seen them for sale anywhere.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be most appreciated.

Also what are the 3 best gauges to buy...

Boost Gauge.
Water Temperature
Oil Pressure or Oil Temperature?

Also I notice Autometer have different temperature.pressure ranges on thier gauges

What is the best range for for a 2WD Sapphire for the following.

Oil Pressure (0-100PSI), (0-200PSI),
Oil Temperature (140-280F) , (100-250F), (140-300F)
Water Temperature (140-280F), (120-240F), (100-250F)

Cheers again fellas.

 

Most of the ones I have seen are a simple plate with holes in it, no clips or anything

Water Temp
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp

Boost, not 100% sure about, we have oil pressure, water temp and boost (as well as volts) in ours, and I miss the oil temp one as this give you a good indication as to whether the car is warm or not (water temp alone isn't good enough).
And when I put my foot down, I have better things to do than check the boost gauge

Oil Pressure (0-100PSI), you'll rarely see more than 60/70 psi of oil pressure (if ever), so 100PSI max is good enough.
Oil Temperature not sure about that one
Water Temperature (120-240F), our 2wd runs @ 180F, fans cut in at around 200F, so that should be fine.

 

Tell you what, the price of gauges is scary! I've been looking and they seem to cost Ł65 each on the bay, lot of money...

 

Thanks for the help Frog
Still curious as the whether or not anyone knows where to buy the 3 gauge holder from though.
I'm sure I've seen Sapphires on here with them.
