GAUGE MOUNTING
Gauges allow you to monitor the condition of your
vehicle and tell how well it is performing. If there
are any problems, you can detect them immedi-
ately before they become severe. W
arning lights
only tell you when the problem already requires
immediate attention. Y
ou will find that the addi-
tion of these gauges will add to your peace of
mind and driving comfort.
Many newer vehicles employ microprocessors
that control most of the engine and electrical func-
tions. Microprocessors are very sensitive electri-
cal components. Before installing any aftermar-
ket equipment consult the vehicle’
s manufacturer
or shop manual to make certain that no damage
will result.
Some of these newer vehicles use electric cool-
ing fans or microprocessor engine controls that
depend on readings from the original equipment
sending units for correct operation. If your vehicle
is one of these you CANNOT replace the
sender(s) with any other
. Y
ou can add an addi-
tional oil pressure sender with a “T
ee Adapter Kit,”
but the only possible way to install a non OEM
water temperature sender is to install the new
sender in a dif
ferent location, retaining the OEM
unit in its original location. Check with the vehicle’
s
manufacturer or dealer to see if this is possible.
All gauges can be mounted into a surface of your
choice or into a panel. Single, dual & triple gauge
mounting panels are produced for all size gauges.
Some panels are in black or chrome finishes. A
fully chromed mounting cup is available for the
2-5/8" gauges.

.
Choose a location to mount the gauge where
it will be viewable from a normal driving posi-
tion (fuel pressure gauges should never be
mounted within the interior of the vehicle).

.
If you are using a mounting panel, mount it at
the chosen location with the screws provided.
If you are creating a hole, use the following sizes:
Gauge Style

1-1/2"
1-5/8" (41 mm)

2-1/16" (53 mm)
