    In car gauges

    Just after a bit of advice, i need some new 52mm in car gauges. Used to have spitfire gauges but i damaged them when removing the old engine... I prefer mechanical gauges rather than electrical ones but wondered what you guys used?

    Mechanical for me also ..the less electricery the better .It's a bit of a mission running 3m pipes to the dash but I'm happier that way

    I don't know much about them ashie mate, but I'm going to try a PLX DM6 as a starting point, is a electric one touch sceen, but its a multi gauge, all the modules can be hidden away and daisy chained together, so only one ,52mm
    Gauge needed for everything, up to 30 sensors through one screen!
    I would get a link up, but my phone sucks

    That's just there basic all in gauge,they do loads of different ones for all applications,you could have 2 or 3 gauges but 6 or 7 sensors and just look at what you want at the time,but the gauges are monitoring all sensors and are ready to warn you of any problems you not looking at!
    thing I love is you can daisy chain all the sensors so they work together.
    You can set alarms(to your own parameters) if you start to lean out,or oil pressure drops to low,water temps to high and so on,check out the vids,I'm getting mine Tuesday so I let you guys know if it's cracked to be what it says!

    They do mech and elec, and have an after market range and a pro range. The after market range are expensive and the pro range are for lottery winners only but, I'd say they make some of the best gear in the world. You generally pay for what you get.
