Oil and Water Temp Gauges
We need a complete set of gauges,including oil and water temp.
Livorsi doesn't seem to offer oil and water temp that start at 60*.However,Auto Meter does offer gauges that start @ 60* in their pro comp line.
We would like to have a report of those temps as soon as possible after start up.
Livorsi does have a couple features that make them the preferred vendor. The diameter is 2 1/16 ILO 2 3/8 (less real estate required) ,bezel,availability,service,price and dedicated marine gauges.
Does anyone else believe the 60* feature is important?

Ben,The only reason for needing the smaller gauge is real estate.
The 60 degree thing is probably not a necessity. However,in my mind it's most justifiable with two engines,comparatively one engine that may show an early warning temp spike. A gauge that starts at 100 0r 140 usually ranges to a temp that one doesn't ever go into,anyway.
A digital gauge would show the full range,but is not matching and harder to read.
