David, One word: VDO. This is the gauge manufacturer  that VW uses and they
have a HEAP of gauges for your van, all of which will look fairly stock,
and will wire up easily.

I want to put in some gauges in my 82 Westy.  Is there any brand that is
best
for performance or installation.  I am looking at both a oil and head
temperature gauge...are both needed?
