My car may be 2.3 fuel injected running big reds and 17" cup wheels but the dash looks nice and period, what do you think?.

65Cabby: those gauges look really good with the stock speedo! Have you got a brand/dealer/price/webpage about them?
Those would look right at home on my project...

/Cheers Daniel

they boxter 1s would be great but could they be wired up? ive seen them going on ebay cheap ish,thinking 911 guages now

yeah this has definately been an idea in my head thats be rattling around... a 911 gauge set up mounted in the dash would look sick....

Wow, dude!! This is the best example to show how to install guages in an old bug's dash instead of hanging them under it!! You have cut the dash but the feeling hasn't changed at all! really nice work :agree:

Thanks guys
The gauges are autometer 'traditional chrome' parts no
2499 tacho
2522 pressure
2543 temp

the speedo then had it's pointer painted to match.

Yes the dash was cut but then the car started out as LHD so the whole dash has been replaced.

What you can't see is the little shift light just behind the base of the Fridolin steerng wheel. I've left uder the dash for just extra switches like the washer bottle , oil cooler fan and launch control switch... but that should be another post

Here's my Carbon Joe CF dash. Just installed it last weekend...

Bullyboy · #13 June 16th 2006, 13:35

What are you using for a fuse box Kafer Mike?
Is that color Gulf Blue?

65Cabby can you post more pics of the dash or send me some?
Thats the same gauges I want for my car.

Kafer_Mike · #14 June 16th 2006, 13:59

Yep, Gulf Blue. I'm using a Watson Street Works panel/harness...
