Arif Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've looked for this answer but haven't found it yet. I see most guys are putting their new gauge (speedhut, autometer, etc.) into the old gauge cup. Do you also use the old face as well even those they have that bar bisecting the original gauge? My autometers are way too small to fill the original holes so if anyone has pictures of the process that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarS30Z Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I had the same question, I have 52mm GReddy gauges to install one day. What I was told to do is cut 8mm plexiglass rings. Here's a link to my thread. My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arif Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks Lonestar. I wish the pictures in the thread were still available. So if I understand it correctly you affix the plexiglass to the hole were the gauges go and then attach the gauges to that? What about the outer edges not filling up the holes? Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He painted his black so you couldn't really tell they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arif Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hijacking my own thread. Does anyone know if the original connectors for the oil pressure gauge will work with the autometer gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arif Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Found out the answer to my question. According to autometer you can't use the original sender with their oil pressure gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarS30Z Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Have you considered using an oil sandwich block? I have the Trust oil cooler kit my room, the sandwich block has 2 ports for oil pressure and temp, and 2 other port for the oil cooler lines. I also have the sandwich block that's just for 2 sensors.
