Paul Ripley's Stack
 
The panel isn't really that glossy - the flash makes it look like that.

Looks spot on that :top: :top:

Sticky. Jan 29, 2007 07:44 AM

I like that :cool:

Mike Rainbird Jan 29, 2007 07:46 AM

Yep, he wanted us to use all the original idiot lights :).

Looks good, but you have to forego any chance of fitting 52mm gauges either side of the Stack to do it, like we normally do:

mmm that looks very nice :top: :top:

does that replace the original instrumentation as a straight swap then, do you need an alternative management system etc. to get all the readings???

STRAIGHT swap, even just plugs into the existing loom for the idiot lights! :)

All the sensors for the Stack are stand alone, so do not require a particular ECU to work :).

Ahem, please check my website out :p ;).

This also has prices for the Stacks above (I sometimes wonder why I have a website :cry: ) :007:. Fitting into your binnicle is extra and is price dependant on application, but is usually around the £200 mark.

As you can see from Paul's and these ones, you don't have to have circular gauges beside them :p.

Pics to whet your appetite!

We found out that we needed a connector for the lamp wires which we didn't think we would need - which will be ordered today, receive it tomorrow and post this out on the same day :)
