Extra water and oil temperature gauge

Hey all,

I want to put 2 extra gauge in my elise, i made a alu support that can hold 2 52mm gauge. I just wonder how to fit the gauge. What wires do i need to connect? Are there gauge that don't fit, ...

Sorry for my english

You might have more luck checking the message board at SELOC, at least for now. Most of the people on this message board are in the US, and none of us have received our cars yet so wouldn't know how to answer your question.

Just curious, do you have any pictures of the gauge bracket you built?

Yves,
Have you considered using just one SPA dual gauge?

I used SPA's in my RX-7 and was very pleased with the quality and performance. In the Elise, it'll free up some much needed interior room

Best,
John

SELOC, or alternatively, try:

P.S. we're all jealous that you have an Elise and we don't (yet)...

you can get a triple one too - you just really need oil temp to be honest, Ive got another guage for boost on the supercharger just to ensure its working...but oil temp is the critical one that is nor provided as std
