Vdo gauges
I looked at oil temp/oil pressure/volt gauges from Audi 80/Golf for my car.
They'll work no problem with the correct senders, although the speedo may be a bit trickier.
I got my full VDO dashboard from here http://www.lowtension.co.uk/ - look under "Instrument Kits | Gauges". They also do VDO
senders.
The kit was £290, vs £500 else where.
They were very helpful and even switched the water temp gauge for an oil temp gauge as my engine is oil/air cooled.
If you use an electronic speedo, you can adjust the speed by using one of these http://www.blackrobotics.com/index.htm
or these http://www.speedohealer.com/eng/intro.htm
The VDO speedo I got from Lowtension can be calibrated to suit, so you then wouldn't need the yellowbox etc.
Hope that helps

I got the same VDO kit from Low tension and bought a gearbox sender.
The lad at low tesnison is great help . all I'll say is I got a good price.
These kits sometimes come up on eaby thats where I initially spotted lowtension
Scot's do it better in Kilts.
