Gauges
sprouts-car - 18/5/09 at 01:50 PM

Hi all,

Ive been thinking about dials and gauges (and looking at this thread: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=64223 love some of the layouts on there).

I really like the look of the individual gauges, like the ETB Gauges. But the price is a little more than i would like(/have) to spend.

Basically my question is: Is there anywhere that sells similar things at more friendly prices?

have a look at the RMD ones from rally design. they are made by caerbont intruments, and are identical to some of the ones on the ETB site you have there. i think the ETB ones are made by caerbont.

Yeah some of those look really good. Am i being blink or are there no speedos there? I guess its more of an after market mods thing.

Part of me is tempted to go for the cheap option and go for something like this: VAPOR.
But did i read somewhere they arent IVA friendly? Or am i making that up?

I dont know if they still are but ETB were doing a "seven" set of dials and senders for £200.

Colour and bezel choice is very limited you can have black or white faces and black or chrome bezels but I thought they were quite good and have used them myself.

Check their website or contact them to see if they are still doing it.
