We now offer a comprehensive kit that includes crimpers and ferrules (20 ga and 24 ga) along with our popular OLC-2 connectors, designed by our engineers with naval brass barrels, a nylon sleeve, and two set screws. This new connection method rivals the strength of gas-tight cold welds, ensuring the most reliable and long-lasting wire connections Electronics International has ever offered for your aircraft engine monitors.

Snip off any excess wire that may be protruding through the end of the ferrule terminal.
Pull on the crimped ferrule (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that it is firmly attached to the wire.

The installation was straightforward and quite easy. Reliability and accuracy far exceed the original [aircraft’s] oil pressure/temperature systems. Also, the price was about a third of the cost to replace the gauge cluster.
[I chose EI because they offer a] certified replacement vs. back-up only and they look great.
I like being able to get a hold of a technical expert immediately when calling into the main EI phone number… The build quality of the sensors, display unit and EDC seem very good… I appreciate the business practices of EI and have had an EI R-1 Tachometer which has worked flawlessly for the past 20 years.
Great products and very clear install.
Great… price [&] support
I won a FP-[5]L and had it installed in my c150. I was/am impressed with the accuracy and ease of operation of the FP. I wanted a new tach and I trust (and verified) that the EI R-1… would be my best choice. I am not a rich man. These instruments are affordable and incredibly accurate. Already planning my next buy from EI.
Your customer service is excellent and your products are top quality!
Easy to install, and the CGR was set up to my aircraft’s exact specifications.
A clear capable replacement for a cluster gauge. Vivid colors used which make it easy to see engine status at a glance.
Big improvement over old cluster (gauges). Good customer service.
I started with a CGR-30C. I loved it so much, I added a CGR-30P… [Your customer service] was a great help configuring it and EI gave me a great deal. I am now an EI customer for life!
EI’s team is great; you guys are the best.
