84' Mayfair to D16 VTEC

I like number 2.  I agree with Brad - a big tach isn't really needed. I used a 52mm tach in a Traveller I owned and it was perfectly easy to read.  On my car I had the usual central speedo sitting in the oval flanked by the tach on the right and a combo oil/temp gauge on the left (It was RHD) so it looked mostly stock.

I like that combination of gauges, but I cannot find that combo gauge in an electric style. I don't want to be running an oil line to my dashboard...

Yeah.  Both were mechanical on my car - oil line and capillary temperature line.   Never had a problem, but I understand your concerns.

AutoMeter has some nice gauges.

I'm not a huge fan of them. I know they're not cheap gauges but they seem it compared to smiths. And with gauges it's either all or nothing and I'm set on the magnolia Mini speedometer.

I know it's been a long time, but I'm back from deployment and the Mini has seen significant progress. I'll take a photo of the dash soon to show you what gauge cluster I went with  25.gif

Welcome back!

I was just wondering about you the other day. Glad your back.

Did MiniTec finally come thru with an engine package for you?
