Temp sensor/gauge earth

[Chris Scott]

So sorry; the electrical questions are coming thick and fast!

Just ordered a sensor for my temp gauge which has one terminal (it earths through the body) however my loom has a wire for earth to the gauge.

Do I just earth to the chassis instead? I assume so…

Well, wherever your earth is - my dash gauges all have a common earth wire which presumably eventually goes to the chassis earth.

Thanks @nelmo - and for all the help so far! Hopefully nearly there with main electrics - then I’ll need to make an exhaust before starting it

The wire to earth the guage will be for the light to read the guage at night.
