    @swinks where did you get your gauge holders from? - i liked the look of them as they sit nice and cleanly on the pillar.

    They are Vumaxx holders. Very handy indeed, you'll get different mounts to dash/pillar to your choice. With pillar I used only ball-head base mounted with bolt.
    Here is the website:
    http://www.vumaxx.com/
    and eBay auctions:

    THanks.
    You will get sensors with gauges. Most kits has one. It's very unlikely to get gauge without sensors, but better check description twice.
    All you need is bunch of wires to get them thru firewall. One for oil temp signal, other for oil pressure signal.

    And, please Barry, use a top range sandwich plate, i.e. Mocal, SARD, etc.! They will cost in range of 40 - 60 GBP.

    I just checked on here and ebay, but can't find anything for mitsubishi, could you spoon feed me a link to both a Mocal and SARD sandwich plate we can use?

    Thanks

    I've just been looking at the gauge holders on http://www.autodials.co.uk, specifically the image of the package and the bits included - Looking at your gauges, i don't see the sun cover thingy or the rubber flexy boot in the image of the packaging, do you know where can i find them?

    Rubber boot is included in a package, it must be inside a cup holder.
    Sun visors I've bought them separately:

    Can't find Mocal plate with 1/8 npt fittings. There are plenty of 1/2 bsp fittings ones tho. In that case 2 adapters involved: 1/2 bsp to 1/4 bsp, and 1/4 bsp to 1/8 npt. Yhm... not sure if this is the best solution.
