Both have a 55 mm diameter, so are pretty small. Unfortunately, it's a mechanical speedo.
Speedo is 115 euro's
Tacho is 105 euro's

Speedo has all kinds of warninglights also.

Mave,

Nice looking
But:
Like you say, mechanical speedo
And you have to consider that you must have mph reading for SVA.

I bought a VDO set from lowtension, a 6 piece set and all adapters and senders included, 300 £ ( 450 € tax included, and 12 € for cariage)

Lowtension

Very good service

They look like the dogs whatsits.. Just as a mater of interest how much did they cost you? I see that the prices on the web site is in USD which for us UK buyers is fantastic, seeing as though the exchange rate is about 2$ to £1

Cheers

Sorry for extreamly large photo (twice), I have removed the post as it was rediculous. i must get someone to explain how to reduce the pixel size of photo's.
I distribute the gauges in UK and these come at around the same price as good electronic analogue ones. The whole set for around 400 quid with sensors etc.
I have previous posts on these and can supply price lists to anyone interested.
see gauges at.
I will attemt to put the picture of my dash on my photo archive

A quick trip to my local auto jumble yielded a brand new Trumph Spitfire speedo (1000 tpm) for 10 ukp, and a used matching tacho bundled with 52mm ammeter, battery condition and vac gauge for the same.
On eBay I found a smiths capillary type combined 52 mm water temp and oil presure gauge for 21 ukp
Total expenditure 41 ukp all working and the speedo exactly matches my drive line only additional items required are a speedo cable and tee piece for the oil gauge :-)
