I was wondering what was involved in fitting guages such as oil pressure, Volts and AFR to my XE corsa b. I have seen loads of guages for sale but for example how do you fit the oil pressure sender needed for the guage? Can you get a corsa specific one which just fits into the oil pressure switch hole or do you have to find somewhere else to fit a universal one?
I know for AFR you get a lambda type sensor and fitting which you have to weld into the exhaust, then do you just run wires to the dash and jobs a good un?
For the Voltmeter do you just run two wires to the battery?
Any help would be greatly apreciated!

The oil pressure sender has I think two wires just popping up to the guage and you'll need an adapter so you can run that and the original oil light switch together. I know some people do it differently using some of the original casting in the block.
