Ingram306 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 So i did a search for temperature gauges and i got a few things, but i was wondering if anyone runs a regular automotive style temperature gauge, Something like an autometer gauge in a 2 inch cup? And if you are able to run these how do they get hooked up and how is the tubing run? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks doubt it would last with the vibration of a shee, i would go liquid filled in the rad hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Autometer makes a 2 5/8 in liquid filled temp gauge. Regular atuomotive temp gauges do no last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram306 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Ok well if i got my hands on one of those i suppose it would work.. I was wondering if anyone had done this and where they ran the tubing, because i believe that you cant cut it to length Edited April 11, 2011 by Ingram306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will just have to coil the excess tubing up and tuck it out of sight. You would have to come up with some kind of fitting to go in the upper radiator hose as there is nowhere on the engine to screw in the probe.
