What guages for Mazdatrix Filter Tower Adapter?

I purchsed the Oil Filter Tower Adapter for my 91 Vert. Will any mechanical or sender guage fit?

I'd like to install an oil pressure and oil temp guage in the driver's side window pillar and would like your recommendations where I can get the pod mount and guages cheap.

Thanks,
Andy

Jegs/Summitracing/Jcwhitney have various gauges. Order their 'free' catalogs. Visit your local autoparts stores and speedshops to pick out ones that you like.

You can go with Stewart Warner performance gauges. They go about $50 each and include sending units for the electric versions. I have the oil temperature gauge in mine.

I stand by my autometer boost and oil psi gauges. I think the boost was ~$45 and the oil psi was ~$52 at summitracing.com. 2 day shipping, and a free Summit Racing Cap. :-D

I hate to bash, but I couldn't find a cheaper price at ANY RX-7 parts/performance parts websites. I also have progressive insurance. :-D

I was very happy with my VDO gauges. You can find them at www.egauges.com as well. I spent around $120 for three gauges, including the senders.

Here's the Vision series, which is what I used:

Be sure to match the sender thread size to whatever taps the Mazdatrix piece has.
