(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Great job, Mark! You've really got a winner with this one. Can you stick it in a dash so we can get the full impact?
Thanks, |

I will have these available in January or Feb at the latest.
I have a few tweeks to do and I will add a light for the e-brake and one for an accessory just to keep it balanced. I can do early and late style gauges, they can both take the same parts. The water temp could work for oil, but it only reads to 250 (gauge says 280, but thats an error on my part) If I come across a cheap 90 degree sweep oil temp gauge, I will incorporate it. I plan to calibrate the prototype and install it in my car for some testing this weekend. Mark |

I finally understood the "water temp" vs oil temp thing, what are nominal oil temps in a aircooled engine?
I mean 250 should be more than enough, right? |

Great work, Would it be possible to omint the voltage gauge and replace it with a Oil temp guage? For my V8 I would like to have Oil temp, Oil pressure, Water temp, fuel level. This would be the perfect guage for me. If you can accomodate that I will purchase one for sure, even if its a little bit extra. Please let me know.

Yes! 250 is plenty enough - most people shoot for 190-210 max oil temps - in an aircooled engine, the oil is actually a major contributor to cooling! |

I am planning on selling these outright with a core charge. I am currently getting 10 gauges from my somewhat local source, 6 early and 4 late style. That should be a good start.
This week will be cutting from the patterns for the final product and sourcing some water jetting and some printing out to local shops. I can't keep making things at work, people are starting to wonder what the heck Im doing in the shops so much. Mark |
