Would it be difficult to fit one of these to the above?.

The other SP6 engined cars can monitor the oil temp although they have a digital display rather than a dial type like but it must have some sort of wired connection to measure the temp of the oil.
Where is it connected to?.
I like the idea of one but as a mechanical numpty I am not sure If it is possible.

Oil temp sensor in catch tank at the front of the car, which is missing on a Cerbera SpeedSix.
I suggest to go the oil filter adapter route, which will be pretty straight forward.

Thanks Bjorn, I like the idea of having an oil temp gauge.

I will look into it, thanks for your advice.

I'd like one like this George where the clock goes but have no idea where you'd get one from.

Try Demon Tweaks but unlikely to have TVR on the face

There was a group buy on here a few years ago for an oil gauge before IT had my Cerbera but I am thinking it was only for the AJP Cerbera. I wonder if anyone has one left over, in white, and would it wire up ok on a SP6?.

You might need to fit a pick up for the sensor, I think a few guys fit them on a sandwich plate on the oil filter alongside a oil thermostat, but that is the ajp, the sp6 has a pick up for oil temp I think, well it must if tuscans ect have it standard, not fitted to the cerb!should be a easy fit if you can find one, I would fit one if I could.

See post above.
Tuscans and the like have a sensor in the oil tank which is missing on the Cerbera Speed Six. So the oil filter adapter is the easiest way to go.
