Smile Gauge Art

Gauges are back from North Hollywood Speedometer. I'm very happy with how they turned out.





This is a mock up with the 914 panel painted silver. They'll be installed in a billet aluminum panel under development. A Raptor shift light will go between the tach and speedo and the trip reset will go below the dash. The new housings have stud mounts on the back for clips to hold the gauges from behind the panel. They are lit by blue LED's like the new Jetta. These started off as $30 e-bay junkers. Truely amazing work by NHSpeedo. :bowdown:

The quad gauge is a NHSpeedo special. The idiot lights are for generator (alternator), oil pressure, master cylinder, and cylinder head temperature. The CHT light is driven by a dual SPA temp-temp gauge connected to cylinders 1 & 3. The SPA will be mounted under the dash in a pod. Other idiot lights are standard setup.

I'll post again when they're installed.

That's sick dude! Very impressive guage cluster. I'm green man!

I must say, the combo guage looks like close kin to a pre-'85 924 or 944 combo guage. Regardless, it's well suited to a Bugs limited dash space.

They're simple, yet they're tricked out just enuff to be unique. Very well done :agree:

I'm not much for white faced gauges, that being said...

Those look awesome!! I hope they didn't break the bank, I would like to have a similar set for myself. I like the way they're layed out. I really like the combination gauge; oil preasure, tempature, fuel, and voltage. Looks better than Gauges just hanging out all over the dash.

Also, If you don't mind me asking. How much did the whole thing cost?

Mike
