Question Installing Greddy Water temp?

Where did you mount the probe for your greddy water temp? Does anyone have pictures. I know there is a site that has the directions on it, but it is for a different gauge. Also how did anyone run the wires through the dash to the center channel? I haven't really looked yet so i don't know how hard it will be. Thanks.

I bought a greddy radiator hose adapter. I cut a one inch section out of the straight part of the upper radiator hose and used two hose clamps to seal the sender there. This will give you the hottest water temp location without having to drill and tap anything. One thing to keep in mind is that you won't get any reading until the thermostat opens (not important in my opinion).

Running a wire is easy. Just find a hole. Any hole.

What do you Connect the wires to? I want the install to be flush, so you can't notice it's there. So if i have to tap anything then thats fine.

I ran the wires through the plastic bellows around the steering wheel shaft then up into the dash. I have a 3 din holder, so it's a little different, but about the same

I'm also debating tapping the thermostat housing. I've never tapped before, so.. eh. like I said.. debating.
