Experience with eGauges.com

I was wondering if any of you have good or bad experiences with the combination tachometer and speedometer gauges from Bugs and Buggies?

This is the combination gauge I am particularly interested in.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

That's a good idea, although the tacho looks a little small, maybe if you used a shift light it would be OK.

I have a Spa combination tacho and speedo for my new 1303. It does 0-60/100 times 1/4 mile etc as well.

Same here. In fact, I recently needed a replacement part of a gauge and got that, too.

Hi Gerry

I bought mine from the USA. It was cheaper than buying it from the UK. The main website http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/index.htm

and the dealer locater page http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/dealers/index.htm

very nice gauges steve,
thought about your combo speed/tach, also dual oil temp/pressure + fuel level/volts gauges.
modern take on 914 gauges

uk price approx £798
usa price approx $1037 = around £518.50
worth hassle?

Hi

The people at SPA in the US are very helpful.

I recently bought a speedo from them for my daily 1303, I couldn't see the top of the speedo with a smaller steering wheel. So I fitted one of their speedo modules into a stock speedo.

Their complete clusters look interesting as well

Steve
