Hi All,

just finished wiring in my tacho next to my water temp and oil pressure, what other gauge(s) would people put in a daily car?

Cheers,
Matt

On a Clubby GT, I've just made a panel with Smiths voltmeter, 2" Smiths clock and a Smiths oil pressure gauge. All match and look great ( IMHO).

I reckon that's enough gauges. The more gauges the more stuff you have to worry about :wink:

The only other guage that is going to give you any decent info is an oil temp... Dont bother about the volt guage or the amp guage, if theyre not right then you'll know about it soon enough and your not really going to prevent anything with those guages anyways
