is there any way to convert the 5v output of my O2 to 1v for my A/F gauge?

Steve's made the suggestion I just buy a 1v O2 and have a shop install an extra bung for it, but if there's a resistor(?) or a transformer I'd prefer that - in spite of the fact that I just ordered an oil temp gauge to replace it with...
thx, Will

Umm...don't think so..

A cheap 2 wire sender and bung install shouldn't run you more than $75 though..

I had too much free time on my hands this week>

and like I said, gave up and decided to go the oil temp route, but thought I'd do one last ask, just becasue it'll be some significant trouble to re-do the vent end :-(((
Finding the Defi D temp was no easy task either, btw - looks like they've discontinued all D's (I'd thought just boost...). E-Gauges listed it, but then I got an email saying sorry. Did order adapters for both sump and filter install though, since I haven't made up my mind. You, as I recall, aren't real high on the Defi A/F anyway, so I decided to take heed. Ah well :-|

I never fixed the blisters on my a-pillars >

I'm tempted to abandon the vent solution and investigate some pods, but I'd really need to see some to make up my mind (I know, I know: "Come to TTE!"). ;-)
