They are alright, but not as useful as those three. Vacuum gauge just makes you feel guilty everytime
you floor it

Well i was thinking 3 clocks in a row, then i though 4 silver & white clocks round a silver push start button might look good what u all think?

Vacuum gauge is cool, because whenever you have passenger they are always like: "ooooo whats that?"

[minipip]

you like thats how cool i am! the car tells me!

Oil temperature and pressure, the two key guages in my opinion

[Big_Adam]

careful with vac gauges....they tend to break if you drop them.

i had to make this decision a couple of years ago when i made my first custom dash!! couldnt decide so i had them all!!, lol

all tim gauges
volts
amps
water temp
oil temp
oil press
vacuum
fuel

add that to a smiths 100mm speedo and a tim 80mm tacho on the column and it kept passengers amused for hours watching the megatron of gauges wobble about as i drove :D:D:D

3 in a row look best and rev counter just get a 3 pod version to replace ur 2 pod jobby tis what im doing atm

[JD8891]

nope ull need the mounting bracket (i have a sapre one for sale if u wouldlike one) that bolts to the bulkheadand if ur lucky u should have the wiring already there for the rev counter then just plug in also i think u may need the smaller size dash backing thingy so it fits properly

i will be doing mine very soon when they turn up if u would like any photos!!!!
