I use to have colbolt mechanical but they don't fit in the ss induction's gauge pod :(Mate I have 3 autometer cobalt gauges in mine with the new SS FG pod, all I did was shave a bit off both the terminals as they aren't needed for anything.. Fits perfect now. Check post #227 on page 6 of the FG Gauge Pod thread in SS Inductions for some pics of mine..

It's a red/green wire, works a treat.

velocityxr6t Member 122 Member For: 16y 6m 23d Gender: Male Posted 29/12/11 10:46 AM Share Posted 29/12/11 10:46 AM Sorry, that info is for a b series car. Might be the same for f series, might not. But I'm sure if you do a bit of probing back there you'll find one.
