Prosport Premium gauges with custom pod

A new project for my car has started.
I want to show you what's going on and of course want to know what you are think about it.

Here are the first pictures. At the moment I'm waiting for additional things - the pod and adapters for the sensors are not here for example.

Wires are in place, the gauges waits for the pod...

Update:

The project is finished - look at the pictures, if there any questions, please ask.

Gauges (water- and oiltemp and oilpressure)





wires (left for watertemp, right for oiltemp and pressure












The panel before and after painting:




The adapters from RacingBeat and ProSport:




All is done and works fine:






Nightview - headlights on - red gauges



headlights off - white gauges

Make sure you double-ground the sensors or they are rather inaccurate. I installed two extra ground wires on the sensors and now they read very accurately.

You mean I should ground the sensors at the engine, too ??? Additional to the wires, that came with the sensors ?

Not here at the moment - I'm still waiting for it, cause it is a custom made pod I have to wait for it.
But it is not a secret, I think you know it - look at here.

At the moment there are only the wires for the three sensors. On the pictures you can see left the wire for the watertemp sensor and right the two wires for oiltemp and -pressure.
