Dash Layout Advice

Hi guys,

Building the Velocity XT - would like to lay the dash out like this:


EXPECTED DASH LAYOUT
EXPECTED DASH LAYOUT


I can swap the speedo/revs round for SVA if needed - as SVA'ing with the Sierra wheel for obvious reasons...

Any other thoughts/comments? - I'll space em correctly in real life

And yup know the gauges are wrong way round and don't match the writing - but that's photoshop and novice me for ya - must have reverted back somehow??

Cheers,

Murray

Looks tasty to me
Where are the dials from & what sort of price for a set ???

They look very much like the Smiths Telemetrix gauges, same as I've used.

Oh and if you have to ask how they are then you can't afford them!!

LOL Andy, they are indeed Smiths Telemetrix.

They are pretty pricey :-( - I seem to have blown my budget constantly. BUT they do look amazing in real life.

If you can stretch to it - I'd definitely try to wangle a set.

I think in total I paid £350 including senders.

Cheers,

Murray

Looks good (if you swap rev/speedo)

The Telemtrix is good looking gauges. Bought them myself and coloured the lights in them so the glow red in the dark

Would look even better with a single DD2 and savage switches.

Wow nice little app :-)

I also forgot 1 savage fog light switch and a Bright 6

Cheers for the info and pics

The only problem with a long line is that you never get a good look at the ones on the end! Rescued attachment DSCF0044.JPG
