Looking at getting some electrical (smoked glass type ones) gauges and wondering if anyone else has got them fitted?

Or any cool mechanical ones, I have 2 spaces for some 52mm and was wanted oil pressure and rev counter!

Whats everyone got?

Please dont post a standard dash... I want to see something different

Cheers

simple approach haha goes black when the ignition is off looks quite nice

also I might add that it’s a bit slow to respond, like blips it won’t register :/ not sure why this is

Don't get a 52mm rev counter IMO, they are too small to be any use. You can't see what they are doing.

The pod on the dash rail will eventually have a rev counter in :thumbsup:

Some good ideas here lads, cheers!

Dont know whether to stick mainstream tim and smiths or get an electrical set of gauges... Hmm decisions lol

I've got to be honest I'm still a very big fan of the classic smiths gauges. I really dig the MGB style 100mm rev counter and speedo along with a good set of auxiliary gauges.

The Dash I've got is the Stack ST8130 and the seats are the Cobra Misano Lux. I'm 6ft 3 and fit in my mini with these seats better than most modern cars! :-)

I like the classic look too, and a Triumph 52mm warning light cluster.

Holden have an excellent Smiths clock, quite a rare one in a slightly larger size. I keep meaning to get one myself as my dash will need an overhaul soon.

I've linked the magnolia one as it shows the face detail better but there is a black version too.

It is fairly expensive, that's probably why I never seem to get around to ordering one.
