<VV> Re: [fastvair] CHT gauges

[Bill Elliott]

The round Falcon version (not the square aviation version) mounts in an 
standard underdash bracket just like the VDO Cockpit series. These are 
cheap and readily available anywhere.

You can use standard wire from the end of the thermocouple to the wire 
under the dash; nothing special required. (You just can't _shorten_ the 
TC wire).

(I really like the VDO Cockpit series and except for the CHT, they are 
what I try to use for all my aftermarket gauges.)
