How about a speedo that's accurate?


The most accurate speedo I have is my tacho

You should get a monster tacho with those lights that light up when the engine hits a rev point... then you need a fake turbo timer, a boost guage and some of those neon light dials which tell you when your subs are pumping too loud.

2. Tacho.
3. Water temp.
4. Oil pressure.
5. Clock.

Anything else is overkill 8)

I have but yet to install - Volt, Water temp, Oil pressure and tacho. Didn't want a big hooney tacho so got a small 2" one like the rest of the gauges and they will all line up in nicely together under the dash rail

Why do you need a clock. Overkill! :P

I've got Jag XJ6 SIII gauges to go in - oil pressure, water temp, volts, and fuel gauge. And a Triumph Speedo and Tacho, which I've got to get around to getting calibrated... :oops: Planning an Inno-style dash.

To fill the hole left in the dash when I took out the old 2" tacho in favour of the column-mounted 4" MGB jobbie 8)

Plus, it reminds me how late I am... :roll:
