Gauges?

Post by **Merlin** » Thu May 16, 2013 11:43 am

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:

Or if you're feeling really flush - Mugen?

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

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.
