Well as i'm thinking of making up a dash, could probably fit new gauges at the same time!

What do people recommend for speedo, temp, fuel, oil pressure gauges?!

Thanks

VDO is very good but pricey. Speco is less good and less pricey. Then there's a zillion other makes as well with smoke-filled and flashy lights. It depends what you want really.

A friend in the States had an excellent Smiths gauge in his Sprite - especially designed to test the Lucas circuits.

If you pressed the small button at the bottom a wisp of smoke floated up across the face of the gauge. This proved that the smoke had not escaped from the wiring and that the circuit was still good

VDO are the best, far better that most of the others out there. Roger at Howard Instruments will even put a Smiths face on a VDO gauge so you can have a reliable modern gauge that looks old, He does a very good black face 0 - 10 smiths look a like tacho using a new VDO tacho.

i remember someone using these gauges --> http://classicmotoring.net.au/cmos/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6_171 but i havent bought, used, or heard anything for or against them. they are a cheap alternative.

I found Veglia ones to be reliable and not much expensive, i have a nice Veglia rev counter from the 70's bought cheap from UK Ebay.

regards
Luis

I have autometer

i run stuart warner gauges in my race car, they are very very good, used in america in nascar etc, very programable and easy to use and very accurate, but also very expensive. i run some crappo taiwanese things in meeni cos they look good

for a speedo, stuart warner, autometer etc sell them, theyre electronic though so you would have to rig up something to read the sensor like a toothed wheel on the the hub for example..

thats why i just put rover mini gauges in mine less rootin around
