Neither will fit straight on with the power steering bracket there, thats for sure.

 

[Idrees]

Bugger. Can the bracket be modified in any way to accomodate it?

 

[sx_turbo]

yep as stated mate neither will fit,


and the bracket cant really be modified, it can a bit but not enough

 

[Idrees]

Not good!

Any recommendation on which one to buy then? I don't want to spend too much!

 

[sx_turbo]

unfortunately dude only one i managed to get that bolted straight on was the greddy unit, and you need to get the smallest one possible

 

[Idrees]

Cool, I've seen one for sale without the centre nut so I might get it and then get the nut from RHD. Is there any other way to run oil temperature and pressure gauges from?

 

[sx_turbo]

yes,

where the oil pressure switch is, buy a t piece with a length of braided line on it, to fit in there and you can fit your oil pressure and oil temp gauge in there

 

[Idrees]

Cheap fix ftw!!

Thanks Ricky your a star!

 

[sx_turbo]

glad to be of help mate

as Ricky mentioned, the braided line is what im using to run my oil gauges. Its good because you can run the line to a place with space and mount it somewhere thats easily accessable.. I bought mine from ebay for cheap

buy both of those and you can fit both oil temp and oil pressure gauges, and the stock oil pressure gauge also
