Ian C Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 It's not the diameter in inches of the hose that feeds them is it? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 fook knows- ones more expensive!! i presumed the size would be the dial face but i guess not.... which one do I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 PMSL well said Matt I didn't think that they let nice people into Hell though? SG, that must be the size of the pipework, a 1/16 gauge would be amazingly expensive and impossible to read as it is approximately 1.5mm! I would expect that to be the internal pipe diameter for a boost gauge piping. Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 2 1/16 = 52mm 2 5/8 = 60mm Its the size of the guage - diameter Go with 60mm, you'll strugle to find mounts, cups, pillars etc for the smaller size. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 electrical - unless you want hot oil being pumped to the gauge in the cabin................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Originally posted by HISUPE electrical - unless you want hot oil being pumped to the gauge in the cabin................ well I did wonder why there was an option? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Coz its basically up to you but I know which I'd rather do, and I haven't (or won't have even ) a custom interior (theoretically they should be just as safe, but I'd far rather have the electrical!)

Supragal Posted October 18, 2003 Author Share Posted October 18, 2003 Oooo they're pretty for sure but sadly fall into the stupidly expensive catogory....there are lots of things I won't skimp on in my car but gauges....as long as they look pretty and the important ones are accurate thats all that counts!!!

Steve W Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 How does a MANUAL Oil Temp' guage work ? ? IF it has hot oil up-to the guage... it would need an oil RETURN too ! ! (you'd HAVE to have a FLOW to get a 'temperature' reading ? ?) You don't mean Elec/Mech oil PRESSURE do you ? ? (I thought there was ONLY electrical Temp ones ?) Dunno-FatS.
