Maggie, Fred's Garage in Redwood City is unbeatable. I know, the name might make one wonder, but they positively rule over any mechanic I have ever had for any car, period. They are all German trained mechanics, work on nothing but VW's and Audi's and only charge about $30. per hour. They treat you like a human being and are scruptiously honest. Very few services that I have paid for inspire the loyalty I feel for Fred's. I found them when I lived in SF and still go there living in SC. Just the money one saves makes the drive worth it. Tell them that Charles from Santa Cruz with the green Westy sent you if you go. Coincidentally, I had been planning on calling them to see if they would install a mechanical oil gauge for me, I don't know if they do aftermarket addons such as this or the other gauges you mentioned, but if you find out please post it. I don't have one of their cards with me to give you the number, but I'm sure information would have it. If you can't find it, e-mail me and I will send it to you. Good luck, Charles '83.5 GL Westy On Sat, 25 Jan 1997, Maggie Adams wrote: > A recent post talked about add ons including the following gauges :oil > temp, oil press, cyl head temp, volt meter.
