What would be the best one to buy? I am needing my gauges now, I need to get a speedo that can be calibrated ,and does everyone take the pick up point for sensor from the propshaft? or are there any other alternatives?

cheers colin

Do Not Buy Telemetrix Guages as the speedo's are cr*p!

I am using an Acewell 3150 digital gauge. Speedo picks up from rear drive shaft. Revs from HT Lead.

Have a look here.

cheers chaps. those digital jobbies look good but dont you need a illumination lamp to tell of the handbrake/fluid level, how do you get around this?

email me if you want a dash info@16vminishop.co.uk (i was the one that sorted the group buy out) can give you a locost builders disscount.

Autometer Ultalite's http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugeop.aspx?sid=11 are very good as are the new SPA Dual range http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/tachometers.asp

I may be missing something here, but why not use a speedometer driven by a cable from your Ford gearbox? If the cable is a problem Speedy Cables will supply one with the correct ends and they will also calibrate the speedo as well.
