Default FAO Mike Rainbird RE: Defi gauges

have been told that you do the defi gauges mate.

I have had my escos built at Harveys running greys, gt28 etc etc and want some accurate gauges to monitor things, could you give me a price for:

Boost gauge, is it in psi?
Oil Temp
Water Temp

all in white face, and the cost of any fitting kits for them

cheeRS mate.

Just looking at that site and it would seem some of the D gauges are in fact steppa motor driven but not the boost gauge! Either way they are not as bling as the proper ones but still nicer than those fookin awful ones that go blank when off imo!

The psi D gauge looks like it goes up to 35 psi

Err i think not!
Mine were all well over 100 quid each so not much cheaper but certainly more fitting in an old Cossie than those Space ship invisible gauges that look fookin awful when they are off

Andreas these are the original steppa motor, daisy linked jobbies which are the same in most ways as the BF ones except they don't look like a 70's led watch when you turn them off
That was an air/fuel ratio meter on the ecu cover but is gone now!

I have oil temp,coolant temp,exhaust gas temp,oil pressure,fuel pressure and lastly boost pressure

That pic just reminded me i have 2 fire extinguisher systems kicking around somewhere as well One is the same as yours.
Most of the gauges i have are similar to those mate as it seems vdo's are the choice of club rally people!
