As it's electric as opposed to capillary then just the correct temp sender in the sump plug, if you haven't got the correct one, then need to contact collins and buy one, as they are matched resistance wise to the gauge, then just add the live and earth to the gauge itself and you're away, oh and the back lighting wire.
If it were a capillary one it would need the coiled tube plumbing into the oil somewhere to get a temp reading.
