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

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 .

It's only a 435bhp engine . We do do a new 0-2-9000, which will be ready by end of Feb, but he couldn't wait for that .

Not a fan of that shape Stack, it looks odd with the circular guages.

Ahem, please check my website out .

This also has prices for the Stacks above (I sometimes wonder why I have a website ) . Fitting into your binnicle is extra and is price dependant on application, but is usually around the Ł200 mark.

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

Pics to whet your appetite!

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

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
