Trisco Oil Pressure Mechanical Gauge - G1103

Accurate under-bonnet readouts - Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge from Trisco

Need to know what's going on under the hood while you drive? Perfect for race car applications, as well as all vehicles driven to within an inch of their life, a quality set of gauges are essential when it comes to performance motoring. The upmost important read-out however is oil pressure. Oil is the lifeblood of your motor and allows it to operate smoothly by lubricating all vital components and also provide an amount of cooling. In your vintage Volkswagen, Porsche or other air-cooled vehicle, your oil also doubles up as your coolant by maintaining in-spec temperatures throughout operation. The Trisco mechanical oil pressure gauge takes a reading of the oil pressure from the source and displays it instantly, without lag time or the need to be converted from a sending unit to a signal voltage and transmitted through a wiring harness like other, electric gauges.

Noticing a dip in oil pressure can quite literally spell the difference between lunching your motor or pulling off the track and saving the car to see another day. If you're still trying to find reasons why you need a set of quality gauges in your car, consider the cost difference between a simple gauge set up and an entire bottom end rebuild. Trisco's gauge range is what is referred to as a 'full sweep gauge'. This means that differently to other low-end 'half sweep' gauges, you get a more comprehensive readout, displaying more increments than half sweep gauges which only offer about 90 degrees of movement. Included in the box is a handy gauge holder which can be mounted in various ways and locations in the cabin of your car. The discreet black colour of the gauge and holder will compliment the majority of car interiors without being too intrusive, whilst the yellow and white detail on the face will make for easy monitoring of essential readouts as you drive.
