Fitting additional Gauges...Who can do it (Aucks)?

[Garryg]

I'm going to change the double din head unit to a single then fit a single din gauge bracket. I'm looking at putting in a boost gauge, Oil Temp Gauge and Oil Pressure gauge. Could anyone fit these for me, or advise where to go? Cheers

if you find the right bits on trade me its no more difficult than changing oil and filter and wiring a head unit .

if you dont do those things then sorry im not in aucks

also id rate a water temp gauge over a oil temp . for oil temp to get to a oil is always hotter and as en engine warning device its far too late . in saying that if oil temp interests you then go for it

if you dont do those things then sorry im not in aucks

Cheers Lachlan, Thanks for your reply. The reason I thought on Oil Temp over water, is that there is already the factory water temp gauge. Although I do my own oil/filter, brakes, I only do these as I'm used to this.. I could also fit a head unit, but wouldn't be comfortable fitting the others in case I make an error and get false readings. This is why I'd rather have someone else who is more skilled do it.

Hopefully I can find a forum member, or some feedback on a good garage to put it in to...then I'll be happy. I've already bought the single din gauge holder and looking at a single din head unit now :-)

Where about's in Auckland are you based?

[Joker]

theres not a heck of a lot of room in a single din area for gauges or they need to be small ones, do you have a holder / them already?

[Garryg]

I'm In Cockle Bay (Howick) area. I have purchased the holder/bracket, which is single din size for 3 x 52mm gauges. Not bought the gauges yet. Cheers

This is the bracket....

You should just get this instead, will work out cheaper I imagine (though it'll need an oil temp sender)
