Gauge Install Guide

Hi everyone,


just wondering if anyone has a pdf/manual for the installation of the gauge cluster under the centre console, like this....

Yes, I actually just did this a couple months ago in my own car. Took me about 6 hours with a friend, have fun!

That's great!

Thanks!

Think I'm missing the oil temperature sender from the kit I've got.

Dropped the guy a message and will see what he says!

That should make it a lot easier though!!

Hope you can get it worked out, it's a really neat little kit and fills up that space under the center console nicely.

Pics when you're done.

Thanks everyone!

I'm from the uk and the oil sensor alone is more than I paid for the full kit. The guy is sending it out seperate as must have came out of the box!

Really appreciate the advice and will post pictures once it's installed! :D
