Have you got the clocks, a lot of those dual action gauges for oil and water tend to be capiliary connections not electrical.

The clock will be easy enough though, find a perminent 12v live , normally the brown wires

na no dials yet trying to get the bodywork straight
is there a particular type i should go for then or one that i should stay clear of obviosly i dont want to make to much work for myself im ok with bodywork and mechanics but wiring scares the s**t out of me

sorry to steal the post but i also want to do this, i want a oil and temp gauage for this years L2B so want to know how to rig them up.

i would prefer a voltmeter instead of the clock.

@lesta mini, it depends on the gauge you intend to hook up. some take 10v, 12v and other are mechanical too

i would prefer a voltmeter instead of the clock.

At least your battery won't go down either...

i went for joint cappilary oil and water in the end and a 12 hour clock and a voltmeter all pretty straight forward juat wondering where do i wire the voltmeter to does it go from the other side of the fuse that the browns go to
