hey Just wondering if you can put different gauges to a custom setup for a Clubman. I had in mind oil pressure, temperature, rev counter/monster tacho. Do they have to be specific brands or can you use anything? Any help would be good Thanks |

When I want to be totally mislead, I always trust my smiths gauges to lead me up the garden path...
that's why most of them don't have very many numbered graduations on them.. |

would you need anything extra, sending unit, to install a tacho meter? |

Tacho doesn't need a sender - it gets the signal straight from the coil All the tacho needs are wires hanging out the back (unless you get a mechanical tacho)

No sender required for volts. Sender units are required for electrical gauges (turn pressure etc. into an electrical signal). If you use mechanical gauges the oil pressure etc. is taken right into the gauge. I had a specometer rpm gauge and found it highly inaccurate, the autometer that replaced it is spot on. Yes, smiths look the part in an original mini, it all depends what look you are after.
