Post by layzie »

Hi all

Just wonderig if anyone here has installed these gauges in their FTO yet?

I'm getting these for free from a mate & is still new. The brand's Autogauge which is pretty basic though the ones im gettin is the stealth series.

Cant wait to get it next week.

Yeah I installed a vacume gauge in where the clock used to be, it was just a gauge that I bought at super cheap, fits really good only had to do a bit of filing.

To wire up the water temp should be easy, just hook it up to the water temp sender.
But for the oil temp gauge I'm pretty sure you have to fit a sender, I read somewhere that someone fitted a oil temp gauge and had to fit a oil temp sender to the sump.

I think it was some where on the www.ftowa.com website.

I've got the oil temp and vacuum factory fitted :p

Though mitsubishi didn't make another clear panel, so I've got the hole for the clock adjustment stick... and the rings I got in the group buy have the stick hole drilled out... and the needle cups I bought in the group buy don't fit the other guages... so I guess it has its ups and downs :/
