RUSSJZ-ZED Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 If fitting a more modern engine that runs the speedo/tacho off the ECU, but still want to keep the original look, VDO cockpit series are an easy, near drop in fit that look reasonably close to originals. Tacho's come in 8000RPM,10,000RPM, speedo's 120MPH,160MPH and 200KPH and 300KPH(I used the 8000RPM and 200KPH, as I have no great need to be in a 30 year old Datsun at 10K on the tacho, with 160MPH showing-don't have a death wish thing going) Real easy to set up, no difficult brackets /clips etc. Detail and pic's on the link.click on pic's for full description. http://www.flickr.com/photos/russjz-zed/sets/72157608024374696/detail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeron Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Look nice, kind of a roadster feel to them! I am not a huge fan of aftermarket gauges myself, but those are pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 What size gauges did you use? Those links come up with a 3,3/8" gauge as the largest gauge. Did you use this or did you find a 5" version? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 My mistake, seems that there is a 100mm version. You must have used that one as I can still see some of the bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 My mistake, seems that there is a 100mm version. You must have used that one as I can still see some of the bezel. These part numbers off the boxes, It is the 100mm version. part number for the 200 kilometre PH is 437 015 029. (obviously different numbers for the 300KPH and 120 MPH and 160MPH) matching tacho 8000RPM is 333 015 034. also 10,000rpm available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
