it will be viewable from a normal driving posi-

mounted within the interior of the vehicle).
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

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-

Gauges allow you to monitor the condition of your

are any problems, you can detect them immedi-

sending units for correct operation. If your vehicle
is one of these you CANNOT replace the
sender(s) with any other. You can add an addi-
tional oil pressure sender with a “Tee Adapter Kit,”
but the only possible way to install a non OEM
water temperature sender is to install the new
sender in a different location, retaining the OEM
unit in its original location. Check with the vehicle’s
manufacturer or dealer to see if this is possible.
