Question Mechanical guage set

I have a 92 XJ and it's nothing special just a puddle jumper. I don't have any dash gauges that work so I bought a three set of cheap gauges on amazon to monitor the important things such as battery voltage oil pressure and water temp. It didn't come with any instructions so I've done some research to find where to put the coolant temp probe but its either too big or too long. so I guess my question is, is there anywhere else to put the coolant temp probe other than the 2 sensor locations and if not has anyone bought a kit that the probe is the correct size? Aswell as where would i hook up the oil pressure gauge/

^ ^ he has a great question, what is wrong with your factory stuff? Don't take this the wrong way but are you lazy and don't want to fiddle with figuring that out Or is there major issues overall with the jeep and this is the "simple" route?

Oil pressure would be simple, there is a threaded port where your factory oil gage sender threads in - you can remove the factory gauge and plug your aftermarket pickup there.....

Coolant temp you'd need to find a unit with a shallow probe for either location which you've obviously already learned.

I'm not lazy about it.I just payed 800 for it and its not worth the money to try to figure out whats wrong with the stock cluster.so i figured it would just be easier to get one of the mechanical sets but thats proving to not be as easy as i hoped so im hoping some one can point me to 1 that fits.
