You will have to install the sending units for the oil pressure and water temp. You can put a Tee fitting in where the stock oil light sender is, so you will have the light work as well as the new gauge.
The water temp sender can be installed in a hose coming from the rear cylinder, thats where it will read the hottest.

For oil pressure, make sure you get a 100psi sending unit. As Ring said, use a T, so you can use your stock sender and a sender for the gauge. You might want to make a bracket for the extra weight on that T.
For your water temp. you need a sleeve to tap into a hose and to mount your sender and to ground the unit. Not sure if your using a fairing or not but a relay would be good to use. Wiring is straight forward but if you have issues...make sure to contact CJ..he's the wiring guy here. Have fun..Bdog

Can you not use an electric oil pressure gauge and just hook into the stock pressure switch that is already installed? I seem to remember that is what I did on my o5 nomad.

I am going to try it for both gauges before I install anything.

Yes ..you want to use an electric sending unit to your oil gauge. That is what I used.

Unless it has tha same ohm rating it will not read accurately.
