80mm or 100mm Instruments??
Should i use 2x 80mm or 100mm intruments on my dash behind the steering wheel, on my vortx????
And can anyone tell me about the exempt area for samller guages or will this not matter with good quality guages?

80mm IMO. You'll have trouble fitting them behind your small steering wheel (and be fully visible for your SVA) as it is!

As long as you can see the speedo the rest just has to meet the radius rule. Placement is up to you on the other gauges. But what you've got
there looks good.

The minimum is a speedo capable of reading at least up to your stated top speed, and a non-resettable odometer. Anything else is surplus to
requirements. But looks nice.

A rev counter somes in handy for the noise test too. Since it has to be at 75% of the max power rpm. Or 66% of maximum if peak power is unknown. I
think.

Hi Kris,
The radius rule means that only stuff outside of 127mm of the outside of the steering wheel rim and down to the lower edge of the dash is subject to
the test.
On a RH drive car, this is only applicable to the left hand edge of the wheel, you can have what you like to the right.
Hope this helps
Rich
