Ok. Well do they make a full sweep? And not planning on doing this but will local auto parts store brand gauges work? But I like the vdo Its original.

Pretty sure they will but I think you'll need matching senders. At least for the pressure amount. I thought about cheap gauges, but for the cost difference, its not worth it to me. The difference is only a couple bucks really. This one would be perfect!

Nevermind, that one is mechanical. You would have to have an oil line TO the gauge. Its not electronic so you couldnt use a sender and just run wires to the cabin.

Damn well maybe there Is an electric one. I'll keep checking.

Install this pressure sender. Cut the connector off the stock pressure switch. Put ring terminal on the end of the stock wire and install on warning contact of sender. You might need to add a little bit of wire to reach as well. Obviously you will need to get the 80psi VDO gauges for this to work properly.





I dont quite understand what you mean by the warning contact? and this sender is good for the light and the guage?
