thing is with a mechanical oil pressure gauge is you have to have a line filled with oil going to the back of the gauge.
if it ever comes off you're going to have oil pissing all through your cabin.
but the other gauge's are really simple to install. is there any real reason why you want water temp gauge considering you have one on the dash :S
i just have boost and volts in mine but i put cd player down the bottom and just mounted them to some perspex and screwed it onto some angled backets that are screwed in the holes where the cd player normally sits. i only got volts because i didn't want to have to pay for an electronic oil pressure one and it looked silly just having one gauge in the middle.

yeah i would hate that oil everywhere ive heard bad stories my mates mum was driving and oil went everywhere haha well as per the link I really just like the look of the ‘’autometer cobolt gauges’’ so don’t worry I plan on getting full electrics i have been trying to hunt down other brands which look half decent or have a dark face with the blue lights …i like the half sweep volt meter which breaks the look up abit like in the PACK in link and the other 2 as full sweeps either side i just like the triple look BUT i dont want to look like a knob with non necessary gauges either but a volt metre is a practical one My soarer is a baby straight 6 so I can’t wack on a boost maybe a vacum? I dunno any suggestions on gauges as im not a pro on this department all the help would be appreciated by the way nice idea on dash pic

Defi's are great gauges. They've ranged out the BF series gauges now although there are still quite a few available. One thing to note though is they do use a daisy-chained system with a controller. ($100 from memory)
Nengun is prob the cheapest place to get them still. They're not cheap though. As for installer in NSW, sorry mate. Can't help there.
