Dashboard dials advice
I've got to the point where I need a full set of dashboard dials for my Viento/BMW build. I guess that my default thought is Smiths Gauges but
they are not cheap. Are there any alternatives out there (I want a traditional looking set rather than a single digital unit) or does anyone know
where I can go to get a good deal on Smiths?
regards
Steve

ETB do a good range and cheaper than smiths I believe
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Have a look HERE This is where I got my gauges. Really nice guy. Very helpful regarding senders and setting up the
speedo accurately.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Sorry O/T
Still living in sunny Cyprus. Car is off road at present awaiting some upgrade work and a few minor repairs. Summer here tends to be too hot for open
cars but Autumn and Spring are great.

Steve,
I to am looking for some gauges for my Viento. I really fancy the Smiths Flight range but there to pricey for me. A decent second hand set would be
ideal but they get snapppppped up on here fast and ebay doesn't offer up much. I am/was thinking of going with a set from ETB as so many people
have had good things to say about them.

RMD gauges, made by the same lot that make smiths, and are very good. eg, a speedo from rally design, about £80+vat
