Fess=> Where do folks like to mount their gauges? Besides the tach in the clock position and the clock in the speaker hole, I have oil temp and oil pressure guages in the Ghia. I've used a head-temp guage in the bus, and I think that's a bit more useful than the oil-temp guage. My small (1-1/2") VDO guages are mounted in chrome bullet-style cases under the center of the dash (in place of the ashtray), aimed at me. I'd have liked them to be more in line of sight, but between the steering wheel interference, the small dash area and my aversion to cutting holes in it, this was as well as I could do. My oil pressure sender also has a contact point for the idiot light, and so replaces the stock sender. On a stock Type 3 this is tapped into the top of the oil cooler through a small 90-degree block that tucks the sender under the air cleaner. I run a Type 4 cooler, which has no sender boss, and my sender is tapped into the case just ahead of the distributor. My oil temp sender is tapped into a boss on my deep sump. => tricky combination gauges I wish! I've yet to see anything useful for a Type 3. But I haven't been looking much lately, so if you find anything, share!
