would one of these fit in a double-din stereo-sized gap with a bit of jiggery pokery?

I've been planning on an AIM dash for a long time for my Escort, but want to retain the standard dials too, and also want to make a feature of the space where the stereo used to be

Looks top though

At that price it makes it a real good alternative to buying 3 or 4 decent gauges.
Need to find out if one would work with my colins ecu

Also, will the RPM input just take a normal low level hall effect input?

thanks

very unhappy we dont have something as the road angel.....

i had the choice of either a couple of 60mm gauges and and AF/R gauge as well as 80mm rev counter or 1 single AIM and an EBC.
costs really are about the same depending on what ur getting and u need lots of space that i really havent got in the R5.

this old bosch ecu i got doesnt allow any monitor whatsoever

Here is a pic of mine installed in the Westy. As ive bleated on about before its an amazing bit of kit especially if you connect it to a decent ECU.

I also have the AIM wide band lampda and EGT connected and it shows everything else from the ECU like a pectel monitor really.

Am I correct in thiinking - If I plug this into my Omex 600, i won't need to install sensors?

Well I assume I'll need oil pressure/temp sensors, but it will get all the date like RPM etc etc from the Omex?

Polly - That looks fantastic.

I am very interested in getting one of these. Does it come with the speed sensor? I take it most sensors are sold seperatly to the dash kit itself?
