gauges
I am in need of a temp gauge, but I have two spots on my a-pillar, so I was thinking of running water temp, and oil pressure. I found these two VDO gauges on ebay:

anyone see why i couldnt use these? or have any suggestions for different gauges.
also, how do you install and oil pressure gauge?

my gauges look identical to them except they've got a different name on them. i havn't got the oil pressure but the water temp works fine. you can also choose the colour of the illumination by putting a coloured cap over the bulb, the orange matches the rest of the dash really well.

thanks guys,
im sure fitment won't be a problem, since 2 inches is 50.8mm, and my 52mm gauges are tight already. I figure i can make them fit snugly if need be. Anyone know of a better price on those gauges, or how to install?

OK I found a website where I can probably get them cheaper, but there are so many adapters and sensors to choose from. I choose the cheapest ones, but what all do I need to install? I still have no clue where to install the oil pressure sender, and I have seen about 10 different places to mount the temp sensor sender.
These are the parts, and they are from http://www.egauges.com/vdo_grou.asp?Series=Cockpit
310-041 2 1/16 250F Elec. engine temp gauge Cockpit Black $24.07
323-419 Temperature Sender: 250F/120C - 1/2-14 NPT - $9.41
350-041 2 1/16 150 PSI Elec. engine pressure gauge Cockpit Black $27.49
240-903 Sender Bushing Kit - - $9.37
360-004 Pressure Sender: 0-150 PSI/10 Bar - 1/8-27 NPT - $28.70
total w/ shipping is $107.79
can anyone tell me which threads I need for the senders, what adapters etc...?
TIA,
Ben
