More dials -maybe Oil Temp and Pressure...?

[tuscan_raider]

Thinking about adding a couple more dials...

Maybe in the space between the radio and the main binnacle - mounted so could be put back to standard

Anyone done this? I am guessing there would be no issue adding a line from the existing sensors in parallel...

What gauges does the Tuscan have?

Oil Pressure is a must
Oil Temperature is good to have.
I also have a Fuel Pressure gauge in my S.

If there is a clock, I'd remove that for a more important gauge as you have many more ways of telling the time.

I had a dual readout in the past. Oil temperature is always way behind water temp, so nice to know when you can give it the beans.

Why bother? You've already got them on the display anyway.

They'd be easier to see - have you tried to spot 12pt with the sun shining on it?

And cause dials are cool...

I have this one in my chim. I replaced the standard oil pressure gauge which was pretty useless and vague with the Spa, (which is illustrated) gauge but with a matching brushed silver outer bezel to match the other gauges.

Oil temperature generally follows water temperature pretty much exactly on the road but on track, oil temperature soars up and that’s what you need to keep an eye on.

Except aftermarket add odd dials are not cool.

I always managed with the LCD display for oil temp and I used it alot as I had a sump heater so was always interested to see what the temp did when I started to drive
