Try some of the eBay traders - their prices were equivalent to Supercrap on special plus postage - (for Speco ) I ended up getting some from Supercrap when they had 20% off storewide sale but also got some off eBay.

also just another note, supercheap now no longer stocks speco guages.

I'd hit up ebay and see what you find.

$79.99 for the set and i think $10ish for postage. Be warned though, they dont come with the attachments to fit them to the mini however i have heard they shouldnt be hard to get

I reckon that's pretty cheap.

You will probably need a different sender for the head (extra $$$). The temp sender hole in a mini thread is a real bastard of a thread 5/8-16 UNC (I think).

I managed to get an adaptor for a VDO guage from Autobarn. It cost about $10. Don't know if the speco thread is the same as VDO (1/8 NPT). Classic Motoring also sell them for a similar price (+ postage) but they are temporarily closed at the moment.
