[Supras] Coolant and oil temp gauges, install ideas?

[Walker, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

I'm talking about the location of the sensors and how they are
installed/connected. I don't think there is an electronic water temp
that would work with the stock sender so I'm wondering where folks
install that sensor?
I've got plenty of spots to place the gauge (pillar and ashtray area)
but not sure where and how the sensors should be placed (there's an
adaptor for the oil filter that allows this but it uses a Celica filter,
I don't want something with less capacity)
 
Thanks,
Brian

easiest way would be to get a pillar pod. that way you can take them out
later for a stock look if you ever had to get rid of the car. beats the
people who just screw them right to the dash or steering column.
