Looking to create an Audi style dash gauge pod. Has anyone tried this? Did a Google search with no luck. Not a fan of pillar mounted gauges. Probably going with Battery / Oil Temp / maybe a clock...or Cylinder Head Temp. VDO gauges, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

CHT and OT has caused me to check around. A full size paper towel had been sucked into the fan and was covering 1/3 or 1/2 of the fins. OT went up to 260 on a 80* day. I knew something was wrong. CHT needle does not move as far for a 20* increase, but I noticed a change.

another time, my ALT light came on on a 3 hour interstate trip. The voltage gauge assisted in how close I could get to home before shutting it down..... 8.5 volts as I pulled into a Cracker Barrel parking place.... 45 minutes from home.

For some people they are nice to have, some look nice, and I enjoy the feedback. To each his own.... like brands of oil, tires, etc....
