vdo gauges

Post by type53b »

anyone know what grade of wire i need to use to make up a loom for a set of vdo gauges? i mean what thickness wire.cos there are various sizes in the local halfrauds but i haven't got a clue which ones to buy! the clocks themselves are the usual arrangment,volts,oil pressure and oil temp. :dunno:


remember, if it's got tit's or tyre's, sooner or later it's gonna give you trouble.

doesn't need to be particularly large for any of those, there's bugger all curent flowing in them. similar sort of size to standard stereo wiring will be fine. 0.75mm2 i think. sorry, my brain doesn't do swg
