Gauge Fitting Help
Looking for some tips and advice from the guru's on here!
I have managed to acquire a set of second hand White faced Ford Racing gauges for my S2 track car.
As they were second hand, not all of them have fittings with them.
Boost, no issue as I can replace the existing like for like.
Voltage, no issue there but do people use the regulated 12v or the actual charging current (circa 13.8v).
Oil Pressure, no fittings, what do I need to buy and from who (sender, pipes, fittings, etc).
Water Temp, no fittings, what do I need to buy and from who (sender, pipes, fittings, etc).
Have you used a t-Piece into the top radiator hose, what inside diameter size?
I have searched all the permutations of gauges threads and find nothing conclusive as best practice.
cheers
Darren

the best people to speak to for you is probably burtons as they sell them so will know what your missing and be able to sell you the adaptors you need to get it all up and running

in that case try phoning them as they are very busy but will sort you out as most likely the guages will be calibrated to go with specific sensors or phone guage makers direct

Got a reply from Burton, do I need the 1/8npt or 1/4 npt kit?
hi
we can supply a remote t piece kit
lma095 or lma 095/4 depending on thread 1/8 npt or 1/4 npt
if these are to connect the ford racing gauges we can supply attachments as they come with the gauges and are different to universal fittings
Kind Regards

All sorted.
RealSteel the UK importers do an accesory kit that comprises of the fittings you would normally get with an AUTOMETER oil pressure gauge.
And i also got a T-Piece that has 1 x 1/8 NPT & 2 x 1/4 NPT.
