How much effort to fit (I'm a novice)? Where on the dash do people put these?

I've seen people say that an oil pressure gauge is good to have, and I know I want a temperature gauge so these seems like a good thing to fit.

But the combined units tend to be v expensive - and if one part fails - then it doesn't look too good. Better with individual units I think - mine are on discreet panel alongside steering column - leaves general dash area unmolested.

Hmm, good points. I wondered about the combined unit because of the space, but hadn't thought what would happen if one side failed.

Do you mean discrete, discreet or both? :-)

This is the standard gauge size, 2" or 52mm

Believe it or not the retail prices for these are now £75

BOTH !! It's on it's own - and it's hidden away from view!
