The Cobra I just bought came with a temp and oil gauge that are both mechanical. I am concerned about having a oil line ran in to the car. Where do both gauges hook up? Any input on the Mechanical VS Electrical gauges?????

i run a mech guages, i just run a steel braided line into the car. if its the plastic tubing i would def. swap it out. and the temp doesnt have coolant in it, i believe its mercury or something.

My Cobra had all mechanical gauges, they tend to be more accurate. I had the steel braided line, it was a pain in the ass to work with but isn't going to leak.

Sounds good, so when are we going to put them in?

im running a mechanical as well and its tapped near where the factory sending unit is by the oil filter. also use a steel braided line for peace of mind rather than nylon that usually comes w/ the kit.

for my oil, water, and fuel i have electric full sweep gauges. A little more money, but if for some reason it leaks its outside the car at the sensor not on my feet.

I have a mechanical oil pressure gauge that has a copper line. I ran it but isn't hooked up yet. Should I remove it and run steel braided instead? It was a bitch to run but I don't want to pinch the line and leak.

Never liked the idea of running fuel/oil/coolant in the passenger compartment.
My 02 cents
