Who here has gauges in their car? What brands do you use?

I am looking to get my gauges sorted. I need electrical type - oil pressure (PSI preferably), oil temp, and coolant temp.

Also what sites sell gauges? Off the top of my head I can think of:

£££ to burn! :lol:

Or if you're feeling really flush - Mugen? :lol:

SPA are great, Stack of course, AEM to name a few.

I've used Merlin and JJC, both good retailers to be fair and good prices.

I've been looking for a full set of matching gauges for my Anglia, which include speedo/odometer, tachometer, fuel level and coolant temperature (which makes it more difficult than finding just the usual add-on gauges of oil pressure/temp etc) - so I've been collecting some links...

Yeah that's quite extreme (Not my car by the way ;-) ) I can't remember if you can dim them, but I was thinking of mounting mine behind the smoked panel on the dash beside the OEM fuel and temp gauge anyway ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions. SPA were recommended by some of my track friends. I think I am going to have to get some cheaper gauges as that money is better spent elsewhere on my build at the moment :( For the 3 gauges I need that would be knocking on the door of £500 after you include sender units :shock:

Just don't go too cheap merlin, they're cheap for a reason. I had some ebay smoked ones and the senders weren't there best and had a few issues with oil pressure one. I would aim middle of the road.
