Yep. Look nice and are accurate too. Which is more than can be said for nomad ones. Mine is 5-6 psi out.

Personally, I dont like them

Had one, sold it immeditately... Cheap and nasty IMHO (certainly WASNT accurate either )

I know it gets said evey five minutes, but spend the extra and get Defi's - they really are the nuts

cossierich330,

Certainly isnt the norm mate, they are a Bailey and Mackay chassis which are arguably the best gauges in the world. Aerospace and Military use this company for their instrumentation....

Autometer, whilst deffo looking fantastic, have a pretty poor build quality TBH and a poor reliability rate.... sorry to the hundreds of people i just know this is going to upset

Interesting info there mate!

I would have never considered Nomad before... Just the small faces and scaling made them appear to be difficult to read

No disrespect to Nomad as I know he uses this site!
