VDO Gauges Gauge Accessories

VDO Gauge Accessories: The Details That Complete the Install

When you invest in a precision instrument from VDO Gauges, the quality of the accessory ecosystem surrounding it matters just as much as the gauge itself. VDO has long understood this, which is why they back their industry-leading instruments with a comprehensive line of gauge accessories designed to ensure every installation is clean, reliable, and built to last.

VDO offers a complete range of accessories to help with installation, mounting, and customization of their products — including instrument panels and panel accessories, instrument mounting hardware, mechanical gauge tubing kits, wire and wiring harnesses, connectors, pins and terminals, warning indicator lights, colored light diffusers, and replacement bezels. In short, anything you need to get a VDO gauge mounted and reading accurately is part of the same trusted product family.

Mounting Solutions Built for a Perfect Fit

Nothing could be easier than mounting your new gauges with VDO's gauge cups , which are engineered to complement the aesthetics and dimensions of VDO's own instrument lines. The VDO Gauge Mounting Cup Kit features an inside diameter of 2 1/16" (52mm) and includes all necessary mounting hardware. For builders who need panel-level solutions, VDO also offers fuel tank sender installation kits specifically designed for fuel tanks without mounting holes — each kit includes a flange, gasket, and all necessary mounting hardware.

Tubing Kits for Mechanical Gauges

VDO offers a complete line of tubing kits for replacement or initial installation of its mechanical gauges, available in braided stainless steel, copper, and nylon tubing to suit your needs. VDO tubing kits allow you to plumb your mechanical pressure gauges cleanly and easily, with kits including tubing and 1/8 in. -27 thread fittings. This attention to standardization means VDO accessories integrate seamlessly with the full range of VDO mechanical instruments.

Wiring & Electrical Connectivity

VDO offers a full line of service parts and accessories for use with their gauges, including instrument wire connectors offered in a variety of styles to properly wire VDO instruments. Since different manufacturers use different ohm ranges on their gauges and senders, pairing the corresponding VDO pressure sender with your VDO gauge ensures accurate readings and a long service life. This system-matched philosophy — where the gauge, sender, and accessory hardware all originate from the same engineering team — is a key reason VDO instruments have long been the industry's choice for rugged and dependable performance.
