nomad seem to be quite good. I've got autometer - and have done for about 5 or 6 years - they've been really good. I always check em for accuracy though.

Personally I like Defi DIN Gauges best. That's genuine eighties style and the green illumination fits any 80's Ford quite well.

Nomad in mine when i got it set up earlier in the year i got the tuner to check them against the ones they use and they reckoned that the Nomad one's was spot on
