Hi all

Bought a gauge holder today.....

....now all i need is gauges. Thinking of VDO Oil temp, Voltmeter and 1 other.

like that, looks well. will it be a big job to hook it all up to the relevant parts in the engine bay? How do you plan to get past the firewall and will you have to remove the full dash to route the cables?

Eh??????

:s

Not sure to be honest!! There was on post on another bmw forum and he did quite a neat job.

Hi

Thinking of VDO Oil temp, Voltmeter and 1 other. Not sure yet but probably oil pressure???? Any views out there??

Whatever I do it's going to be an over the winter job while the car is parked up

Take pics and do up a DIY guide. I think they'd look well and I'd like to skip any install issues you have!:P;)

Good idea. Will do. I'm not a auto sparks or anything close to it but I'll be doing it with a mate who is!!
