finally, some gauges

After almost 2 years of waiting, I finally took the plunge. Special thanks to JTB on the forum here for the killer deal and ongoing support post-sale!













control link is in the glove box:

BTW I have to say as awesome as these gauges are, the whole "oil pressure warning sound while the car is not running" thing is highly annoying. No pain no gain right?

It's an olympus stylus 400... has a horribly long exposure when there's low light, hence the blurriness.

lexat20, yeah here are daytime shots, totally black when the car is off, but the control link is tapped into the radio illumination wire so they light up fully when the car is on, and dim when you turn the headlights on.

Where did you get the clutster from? And are those the 60mm gauges?

I have the steering column dual pod right now, and it works and looks fine, but I cant see my gas gauge or anything about 120 mph. The mph is fine, one of those things were doesnt matter what speed I am doing - its illegal. But the gas gauge is somewhat annoying. I go by my mileage - roughly at 250 miles I check the gauge and then fill up.

Yeah that is the sole reason I will not mount anything on the column, can't see sheit.

This is the craig hardy gauge panel, you can purchase it from Cal @ Gruppe-S but there's about a 1 week order delay since they fab it for you post purchase.

And yes these are the 60mm gauges, defi bf amber metrics.

Awesome, thanks for the info. This is the best center mount that I have seen yet. Nice pics.

It's the only one to consider, the gauges are staggered towards the driver, looks very OEM and fits perfectly!

Those are nice, I just wish it was displayed in PSi isntead of BAR.
