Which integrated dash?
craigdiver - 18/9/17 at 03:53 PM

About to buy a integrated dash for my haynes roadster. Initial thoughts are the Acewell 7859 however I am being put off by having to stick a magnet onto my propshaft. Is there any options for a proximity sensor rather than a magnetic switch?

I like the cost of the Acewell, any other suggestions?

I have a Koso DL03-SR with gps antenna in my hotrod really nice bit of kit I think all in it was £170 from digital speedos .co.uk

I like the look of that, do you think it has all the stuff necessary for IVA?

Has all the warning lights except the brake warning light you may need to check you use a gps unit for Iva someone on here will have the answer .

I have a Koso DB 02. It came with an adaptor to plug onto my mechanical speedo drive. It didn't have all the right symbols for IVA on the dash surround so I printed some off onto Acetate

I've got that acewell and don't use the magnet. It works perfectly with my standard mx5 speed sensor

Thanks for the offer but these look geared towards race cars (and look expensive)

Going to go for the Acewell. I do like the KOSO OLED unit but would need to scale, somehow, the senders 0-190 ohms to a range the guage can use.
