Dashboard dials advice
SteveWallace - 22/11/11 at 10:09 PM

I've got to the point where I need a full set of dashboard dials for my Viento/BMW build. I guess that my default thought is Smiths Gauges but they are not cheap. Are there any alternatives out there (I want a traditional looking set rather than a single digital unit) or does anyone know where I can go to get a good deal on Smiths?

regards
Steve

ETB do a good range and cheaper than smiths I believe

Sorry O/T
Still living in sunny Cyprus. Car is off road at present awaiting some upgrade work and a few minor repairs. Summer here tends to be too hot for open cars but Autumn and Spring are great.

Steve,

I to am looking for some gauges for my Viento. I really fancy the Smiths Flight range but there to pricey for me. A decent second hand set would be ideal but they get snapppppped up on here fast and ebay doesn't offer up much. I am/was thinking of going with a set from ETB as so many people have had good things to say about them.

RMD gauges, made by the same lot that make smiths, and are very good. eg, a speedo from rally design, about £80+vat
