SUBARU ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE FITTING ADAPTOR on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 09-Mar-08 09:05:23 GMT)

what about something like this?


Autogauge 52mm Smoked Super White Oil Temperature Gauge on eBay, also Dial, Dash Switch Custom'n, Interior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 10-Mar-08 16:52:00 GMT)

if you are fairly handy with the tools it should be no problem to fit,a couple of wires from stereo/clock loom and 2 wires through grommet by clutch pedal to the sender on engine
