Hello all,

I want to wire up my oil temp dial and an analogue clock that are in the centre of my dash.

This is the first time i'm going to take a screwdriver to the little fella so I want to be gentle.

Can someone suggest an 'idiots guide' for how to take the dash off and wire 'em up.

Cheers,

FG.

Where has the oil temp gauge come from and what car are you fitting it to??

The gauges were already in the car when I got it....

It's a 94 sprite....here's a pic if it's any use....

Thats an MPi dash and clocks.

The oil gauge is pretty much useless on anything other than, to be honest. Thats why I was asking.

As for getting the dash out, I cant quite remember. I think you need to remove the two air vents, unscrew the outer ring, and then twist the right one anticlock wise and the left one clockwise, only a little and remove them. I think there are some screws behind the dash, there is also one behind the radio so that has to come out as well. Dont forget to disconnect the speedo cable and the electrical connector.

Cheers for that, I'll pop it off and see what I can see....
