that setup is from japanparts.com but i dont know if they make it for LHD cars. If they do it would be perfect for all those that dont want the a-pillar gauges(to common_ or the RB gauges(line of sight issue)

expect to see them within a couple of weeks." so they are just waiting for stock to arrive

Has anyone else had a problem with leaks? I was installing the gauges this weekend and both the thermostats for the oil and water were leaking at the adapters. I tried everything I could think of to seal them but was unable to. I don't know if I was missing something like a washer or if I just received a defective kit.

Yes, those 3 brass fittings are what I am missing. I did buy it from another vendor because at the time Racing Beat was out of stock. They look pretty standard I could probably get those from a local store. Thanks.

Installed mine yesterday. There is a story that goes with mine along with pics. I will save that for later as it will take a little time to prep. However I would like to say for the record that when Olddragger talks, you better listen!
I'd also like to say that OD could have installed it by himself in around 4 hours but with my "help"* we were able to stretch it out for a good 11 hours. Like I said, there is a story to be told. Yes OD, I'm gonna fess up.
* "help" as described in the dictionary: "Make it easier for (someone) to do something by offering one's services..."
I have given this word a new meaning: To create difficulties for (someone or something), resulting in delay or obstruction.
