Ok, if I understood well, the senders are some kind of wires, aren't they?
In case of gauge-pods fitted on top of the dash (as it's the case with most E21s), where do the wires pass from (inside the dash) to reach the engine bay? is it needed to pass them from the ventilation ducts that are exactly behind the pod (then the wires would be visible, which I wouldn't like at all) or can one pass them inside the factory speaker hole, under the pod?

Now I finally have all the senders and adaptor (they sent the wrong one hence the delay) I'll try and get on with doing a step-by-step guide for those people who are as clueless as I am when it comes to this stuff.

Hi there from Bimmerforums/Australia, sorry to resurrect an aged thread but I just bought this very same tri gauge cluster and I was wondering where you would get matching vdo gauges to fit the size of the gauge holes. I'm after Oil pressure, oil temp and I'll have a wideband O2 sensor in there too.

Thanks heaps guys.

The gauges from an Audi coupe, or similar, will fit fine.

Thanks for the reply brother, which ones are in "Alpina's" picture? I actually wouldn't mind those exact ones.
