Gauges on a RKC

I want to get a gauge for oil pressure, oil temperature and/or a tach on my 2002 RKC. The old micro (1.5") oil gauges are hard to find. Can I fit the Ultra gauges into the 2" gauge brackets (67648-04) and using the 2" COMPACT GAUGE HOUSING?

I too have traveled that same path looking for a solution. I don't care for the digital look and want to keep analog / steam gauges. This is what I have found so far.

sgt. slaugther,

Your setup looks great! Will you please share the formula you used? In other words the bracket used and sensors, wiring, etc. I'm glad hythomasf started this thread!

Temp sensor is installed in tapped boss in oil filter housing. Mounts are from Cycle Performance. Gauges are 2 5/8 Autometer ultra lites. Will get more pics tonite.
