got my new gauges from the states this morning well i like them and at a total cost of £200 inc delivery and the dreaded duty/vat. i think they where worth it. I dont now about the Bezels though might not get through the sva? Rescued attachment gauges.jpg

very nice!

but why is the rev counter already pointing at 7000rpm?

how much was the import tax in the end?


dave1888 - 28/4/07 at 05:09 PM

I copied the photo from ebay mines sits at 0. I ended up paying vat £36 which wasn't to bad. Still works out cheaper that uk prices.

you'd pay about £150 +vat for a speedo on its own, so very well done!

Looking great... Do they include the senders??

Cheers

Yes all the senders included apart from the speedo sender.

snap!!!!




and the rev counter creaps up to wherever it wants when your ignition is off, then resets to zero when you turn it back on

I think it was yourself that gave me the adsive Ray. what do you think of the bezels will they get thru sva.

don;t think so,

squarish edge and sticks out far enough to have to be radiused.

recess them in a padded dash til after SVA

Dont worry dave about that we can always turn up some rings to go round them for SVA.

Ive got the sister dolphin gauges in green, i modified the speedo sender to fit a type 9 speedo cable.

Mine are round edge but still resessed them into the dash Rescued attachment CIMG02851.JPG
