Thanks for the pic! Wow I didn't even notice the oil temp gauge. It just blends right in. 
Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link.

I used a gauge from from Glowshift, not too expensive and includes a sender:

As for mounting, I tried to be inconspicuous, but I don't think I succeeded,
as shown in the Computer Diagnostic/GPS thread...
In the center panel, second one from the left (right above the LM-1).
A better place, if you don't need as many gauges, may be in the
ashtray behind the shifter or on the driver's side A-pillar.

I plan on using 3 additional gauges in the lemons racer...oil temp & pressure + trans temp (since its an auto)

Me too. I have been on calls where it wasn't the initial impact the hurt the passengers, it was the flying debris inside the car.

That is a concern. The computer, Sharktuner and radar detector are removed
during the race. The GPSs have extra tie wraps attaching them to the roll cage.
I have also added extra bracing on the gauge cluster, and it's secured to the
roll cage and the dash inside the air vent. Bill has suggested that I redo it in
all metal (it was originally all aluminum, but the glare from the reflected sun
light was very distracting).
