Default 2 bar boost banana pod gauge

I remeber seeing here that someone has the 2bar boost gauge and oil pressure with markings of 1-5 for the banana pod (made by Wolf?), I've asked someone to make me a copy but he said I'll need a trace of where the markings are. It'll be great if anyone can help

I think they were about £150 pound ,but they are not just a cloak they are full replacement covers and plug into the inverters so light up correctly, also comes with a 180 speedo, have a look on birba's web site

the 50 quid quoted was inclusive of independent inverter, I've got it installed in my car atm , but I want to get another one with the 2bar boost gauge. I'll take some picture of the one I've got and post it later. 150 pounds sound a bit much

i was looking into these but was put off by the fact that when my car is @ 2 bar, the gauge goes well over the mark on the display ???

how accurate are they ???

I was told if the trace is done properly, it should be fairly accurate. I don't want gauges covering the facia either, that's why I'm looking into this

that looks much better than the birba one (sorry escossie500). Now, would you be so kind to take a picture perpendicular to the gauges rather than at an angle, so that I can print it out and take it to the shop who makes them.


If anyone else is interested, I can always get them to make more, at 50quids a set, I think it's a bargain. But need to see what the quality is like first

just want to add that it's never going to be as good as the Wolf set, it'll be more like the Birba's one.

SEEING AS I LIKE BIG WORDS
oohh i like perpendicular,i'm going to have to try my imaginativeness
i will try for you,my mate has a digital camara,i don't know how to use
one or how to put the pic in the computer,it may take a bit of time
for me to get him to do it so bare with me
glad you like them though,they are top quality
i'd rather have a set of WOLF over the others
