Racing Beat RX8 Gauges fit a 13B FD3S2?

Apologies if this sounds a silly question, I have only a little time to find out.

Ignoring the mounting of the gauges, will the Racing Beat gauge set for the RX8 fit a 13B FD3S2?

ignoring the mounting and Rx-8-specific paneling and such?

then ... they're just gauges. you can get them from any big parts vendor (like Summit or the UK equivalent). why not just get them yourself and mount them however you want?

Thanks, the gauges are just gauges. It's the sensors that come with the kit that are the issue (apologies for not making that clear).

so basically you want to know if the sensor (and adapter) thread pitches between the FD and 8 are the same?

that, i don't know. however, if you don't get an answer here, RB Europe (or RB HQ) should be able to tell you. it's just a phone call.

I see a set of mechanical gauges

the big block thing is their oil filter adapter, it gives you ports. One being used for pressure and one for temperature

that you can use on any 13B

the other looks like an inline adapter for water temp- from the pictures looks like a small and specific inline adapter that would connect to a coolant hose somewhere- that one would be the tricky one.

But why pay for that panel when you dont need it? you can buy auto meter gauges anywhere and buy the oil pedestal adapter.
