Gauges
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.
