Default Aftermarket FUEL level gauges?? What u got any u recommend?

Need an aftermarket Fuel level gauge Any recommendations at all

Defi dont make em

SPA are extortionate

It isnt going in the middle of the dash, so doesnt have to be amazing but oviously need one as the original one is going...

How are they calibrated? Obviously will simply use the original "earthing" wire at back of dash yeah?

Cheers

Damian

So maybe needs an inline resistor of some description on yours to bring inline with factory specs.... unfortunatly I dont know what the output is for your sender originally at empty and full pmsl sorry

I used to have a Racetech one. Worked great, now I have an SPA one which we don't know how to calibrate because it came with the instructions for a Boost Gauge. 26litres is empty.... I think
