Where to get oil gauge sandwich plate?

[mark_eire]

Hey, Just a quick question,
I'm putting a 3 gauge pod in the 850R (boost, oil temp, oil pressure)
Which sandwich plate do I need to get?
Any advice where I can get one and how simple/hard a job is it to fit?
Thanks

Best guess is some where like Deamon Tweeks, or a motorsport shop, they aren't to fit, but bearing in mind where the oil filter is on a T5 it could be tricky to get the pipes for the gauges to connect up

Hello i got myne from ebay and it came with 2 bolts i cant remember what sizes they were there a easy job to do and there is enough room to fit the senders just remember when you have it fitted and its time to change the oil filter remember to cheack that the bolt is still tight

How did you find it on ebay? e.g. was it advertised as for a Volvo or was it just a lucky guess??

try autodials.co.uk they sell everything for aftermarket gauges and have all necessary fitting info on their site and they are cheap

This would probably do the trick,

although would this not cause the filter to drop lower than the sump? Mines close as it is!

Yes the filter is abit lower but nothing major also you can get two different sizes of oil filters go for the smaller one
