Could easily be done with a drill press! Assuming you don't have defi sensors. why defi used such a weird thread I have no idea but like an aem or glow shift or something probably use a common thread.

I want to have oil pressure, temp, and coolant temp readouts on one small display. I don't want gauges and crap all over the place. So I'll probably build something similar to the digital speedometer thing I made for the GL.

The only pic I have was early prototype stage, but I could add a whole bunch of other features without much trouble.

I wish that I could find the gague kit they made for the turbo, the one that goes where the storage compartment is on my 2008's dash. That's really a cool readout you made!
