I don't think so...was quite a few years ago that I fitted the guages.. pretty simple though, an oil pressure transducer fitted to a "T" piece in conjunction with the oil pressure switch, then just ran a wire through the firewall up to the dash guage...

The other two guages are also pretty simple, boost guage is just plumbed into a fitting I screwed into the manifold and the other end through the same hole in the firewall as the oil pressure line, voltage guage is just connected to an "ignition live" behind the dash.

Honestly if this van makes it another 10,000 miles I'll be happy, it's done 2000 and I've spent more time in the engine bay than driving it :lol:
