While I'm reworking my dash, I though I'd go ahead and do a buzzer for low oil pressure and overheat.

My aluminum radiator apparently did not have a bung for low water level and it appears to be disconnected. Is there a solution to make this work with the aluminum radiator?

What I'm looking for are part numbers and where to order. I know I'll need sending units and buzzers but don't especially want to reinvent the wheel if it's been done and documented?

The sensor hole on the aluminum radiator is on the opposite side (driver's side) rear of the end tank.

To add to Ken's comment, about half way down. Add Digipanel, all the desired alarms are designed in. JmK has them, also others.

I believe AutoMeter has a gadget to do that.

For the low oil pressure issue, I hooked a standard GM idiot light sender in parallel with my regular pressure transducer. It closes at about 12psi and it sets off a cheap Radio Shack buzzer:http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/miscellaneous/p4955.html
