Drivetrain Gauge install help, cross post
I've finally collected all the pieces for my gauge install. The SPA gauge I'm installing has two 4 pin connectors that I need to fish through the firewall. Those of you that have installed boost gauges and other gauges (or just fished something through the firewall) I need some advice:
Is the best place to go through the firewall at the thick rubber piece above the pedals and behind the brake vacuum reservoir, where a large red cable and a wire bundle pass through? Do you think I can fit the ~1/4 inch connectors for the sensors through this piece?
BTW, here's what I'm installing: SPA Dual oil pressure/oil temp gauge, autometer boost gauge, ALTA gauge pod, Intercomp lap timer. I'm tapping a hole in the oil filter canister for the temp gauge. I ordered a fitting from BMP to go where the oil pressure switch is, I'll run a braided hose up a foot or so from that and remote mount the pressure gauge sensor on another fitting. I'll take pics as I go and try to create a some semblance of an install FAQ.
Thanks!
