[s-cars] S6 Voltmeter to Oil Pressure swap

[brian bilotti]

Mike,
Thanks, I wasn't sugessting putting anything there, in
place of the voltmeter other than an oe oil pressure
gauge, I am still going to go with an A pillar gauge
pod from Supreme Power and ashtray delete for the IC
and A/F. Mike Sylvester already suggested,
substituting the clock for the op guage. Hmmmm, that
sounds pretty reasonable.... Why didn't Audi just make
the clock digital and incorporate it into the
multifunction display or the radio for that matter and
keep the damn thing :-0 So, I guess you have messed
around in there, if I decide to do this clock swap,
how difficult you think it might be?
Thanks for your help. Oh, BTW, Hap suggest I should
get a sedan, oh, that'll solve the problem ;-P
