    well if you get the saber ones they come with everything to mount them.

    not going to be an issue.

    make sure you get the correct diameter water temp sensor holder, you can get them from supercheap as well. and you will need the sandwich plate.

    Hey mate do u know if saber gauges are that much better then the autogauge ones??

    I know they probably are better but is it worth paying the extra money?

    thats a really hard question to answer. Ppl will argue about stuff like that forever. In my opinion if u are getting cheap gauge's then just go for what looks better to you, if u don't care what they look like then just get the cheapest ones you can. I have had defi's, autometer and apexi. The saber ones i have now are supposed to be good because they are electronic and they use a stepper motor same as defi, plus they look pretty. Electronic one's in my experience work better and are easier to install but im sure there are others that disagree.
    This is a very long winded answer considering im not really giving u an answer, so in the end its up to you

    I had real trouble reading my saber gauges in anything but non direct sunlight. as soon as there was a light source on them I couldnt see shit.

    I now have some autometer gauges with white backings and hopefully they wont have the same problem.
