VDO gauge at Pelican is 23.00.
VDO gauge at Auto Atlanta is 78.00.
Both are 2 1/16 size.
Are these the same part?

FYI...found out that AA sells a kit for that price which includes wiring and sending unit. Pelican is gauge only....

I just got my order from them yesterday (CHT, oil pressure, oil temp gauges and senders). They also carry the gauge bulb sockets to replace the ones that are corroded and not working in my combo gauges.

Fast delivery and a great site.

If your looking for a CHT gauge, might I suggest aircraft spruce.

Not cheap, but unlike the VDO, its temperature compensated. They also have some really cool dual temp gauges if you want to monitor both heads.

Thanks for the replies. When you use one of these VDO oil temp gauges, are they plug and play or is there modifications required for the factory wiring? I have a factory gauge in my console. I know you need to replace the sender...right?

The Stack gauges are much more accurate. Available http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SGG-ST3210/.

Looks nice...what about the sender and wiring?
