Electrical Question !

ok clever people of the OSF world

 

now im doing the wiring loom for my new racecar (not OSF) i'm having a rev counter with a shift light, an oil pressure guage with a warning light and a water temperature guage with a warning light

 

the rev counter is easy to wire in - thats sorted

the oil pressure guage and warning light was taken off my old racecar so the light comes on if the pressure drops to bugger all

 

but i cant work out how to set my temperature guage warning light up to come on at or above a certain temperature :S obviously the guage has a sensor on it that mounts into the block, but how do i wire in a warning light to come on above a certain temperature (say 100 degrees) ?

 

cheers

I know one way you could do it... a thermostatic controller from a Kenlowe fan setup. Put the sensor into the top water hose, set your knob up, and instead of switching on a fan, it will turn a light on instead

very clever ! (thats a similar way i was thinking of doing it) mr jimbob, only problem for me is mounting it into the top hose but a controller is the best way of doing it me thinks !
