Formula 27 zetec digital dash

Hi, my F27 is fitted with a 2.0 zetec/bike throttle bodies and a type 9 box.
I am looking to get rid of the standard dials and replace with a digital dash, it currently appears to be a standard ford dash cluster stuck behind the dash and some holes cut in the dash to display the rev counter and speedo. There is also a fuel gauge and coolant temp gauge.
Can anyone suggest a good all round digital dash display that will be compatible with my current engine/gearbox set up? I will be making a new dash from Carbon fibre sheet to fit the new dash in.

Thanks in advance,

Liam

It all depends what kinda thing your after and budget.
I personally like the race technology dash 2 or pro but it's expensive but very customisable and your standard sensors should work. Except the speedo (you will need a Hall effect sensor)

The ace well dashes look good and arnt that expensive. Try here for them

Lots of people like the etb instruments dash as well but I can't comment on that one.

Thanks guys - a friend of mine had an ETB dash in his MK indy kit car - very impressive bit of kit, I just don't really want to spend that kind of money though.

I suppose £150 is the maximum really - it has only really got to do the basics - Revs / speed / fuel / temp / backlit display - anything extra is a bonus.

I have found this http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/db02r-multi-function-rpm-speed-temp-etc-121-p.asp
any opinions on this?
