Post by jon-ovlov »

As above, looking for a rev counter dash to replace my one which has a clock.

Cheers

Jon

(clicky pic for blind-o-vision view)

Compare trabitom99's pics of the km/h versions of the VDO and Smiths with economy and ambient gauges:

Smiths: (rev counter to 8000 rpm :shock: square warning lamps)
Image

VDO (round warning lamps, red marks on the rev counter, different font):
Image

Not sure what the fuel tank sender and temp senders are like for the Smiths set. I've got a temp sender that matches the Smiths clocks, but not a fuel sender (if it's different, don't know if it is or not).

No need to apologise. It's just when I first saw the post it was missing the finer details ;)

(pics always FTW ;))

Some folks fit the Smiths panel in a later car as they prefer the 8K rev counter.
