G'Day everyone
I have started to design my custom Cockpit for the MK1
I am looking at these gauges..
Anyone fitted these before?
Are they suitable?
Any advice is most welcome?

Nice :D

The speedo will not be straight forward to fit up as it uses an electic pulse for an input (instead of a spinning cable) and needs to be calibrated, but definitely do-able.

Also just check with the seller if the tacho can be connected to your dissy (points or electronic equivilant).

I think the price is reasonable for what is on offer too.

1: Your layout looks similar to the awesome innocenti dash.

2: look at XJ6 series 2 dash cluster, the gauges are old-school and look nice. the XJ12 has a higher taco. but they are rare.
