Important Details

This Gauge Includes

42 Draft Designs Wiring Kit
Standard U-bracket & Nuts
Bulb Socket & 194 Light Bulb
Installation Instructions

This Gauge DOES NOT Include

Pressure Sender
LED Lighting

Because each installation is different, sending units and LEDs are not included with the purchase of an individual gauge and must be purchased separately.

Which sender do I need?

You have the choice of two pressure senders for this gauge. Each sender differs by thread size. We offer 1/8" NPT and M10x1. We typically recommend 1/8" NPT for universal applications where an adaptor will be used. The M10x1 sender matches the thread size of the OEM VW senders and is recommended for all VW applications.

Which LED do I need?

This gauge includes a white 194 light bulb. For the ultimate in visibility and color we recommend the use of a high intensity 194 LED. Unlike the vision series, the cockpit international series uses side-lit illumination. This means that the light needs to travel around the face of the gauge to light it up. A very bright LED is needed to achieve a well lit gauge. Our standard 194 wedge style LEDs and our perfect match LEDs are not recommended for cockpit international series gauges.

High Intensity 194 Wedge Style LEDs
Our new high intensity LEDs are the ultimate in brightness. When installed in a VDO cockpit international series gauge these LEDs provide illumination which typically exceeds the brightness of an incandescent light bulb. These LEDs are available in 5 colors and are priced at $8 per LED.

What is included in the wiring kit?

Shown to the right is a typical 42 Draft Designs VDO wiring kit. Each VDO gauge includes a wiring kit built specifically for that gauge. We use flexible 18 gauge automotive wire, heavy duty crimp terminals, and thin black zip-ties.

An oil pressure wiring kit includes two 4.5' lengths of lighting wire, two 6' lengths of power and ground wire, an 8' sender wire, all necessary terminals, and zip-ties.

Recommended Electrical Accessories

We also offer a number of electrical accessories not included in the basic wiring kit. We have everything from crimpers to fuse boxes. For this gauge we recommend:

Scotchloks or T-Taps
Mini Inline Fuse Holder
Mini Fuse Add-A-Circuit

You May Also Need:
This gauge uses VDO's spin-lok mounting system. In some gauge mounts these spin-lok nuts simply will not fit. For these applications we recommend a stud mounting kit. VDO's stud mounting kit includes two threaded studs, two nuts and a U-bracket. In many gauge mounts, such as our VW mk4 triple gauge panels, stud mounting kits are a necessity.
