No, not with those I just have the MegaView. Thats as digital as I get. That looks like a pretty sweet setup though. I have seen something similar to that used in some sandrails. It works quite nicely.

I like that one too. What do you think of the stack setup placed in the center of my dash. I have a standard so the dash is flat. The rest of the dash would be smoothed out and painted body color...(red)

Another digital dash idea...

What about a digital motorcycle dash. You can get them pretty cheap off of ebay. I should be getting a 2001 suzuki gsx-r 600 in the next week or so if all goes according to plan. I can take some measurements of of the harness to see what the tach and speedo resistance or signal values are. What I need to know is the resistance or signal strenght of the stock 1969...

1. Fuel level gauge

2. If anybody has an electric speedo adapter for aftermarket speedometers I would need some specs please.

My brother had a stack rev counter in his Group B rally car..... don't ask me if it was any good ............................he wired it in wrong & blew it up

I've seen a lot of Lotus 7's at our local race circuit with the complete dash I've not heard anyone complain.

A little on the expensive side though.
