Dials and guages

[Savvi]

What the best ones to use in my Anglia, Pinto and type 9 box.

 

The standard speedo goes off the clock when doing 50 mph and the temp guage goes off the top, although the fuel guage seems ok was thinking of fitting something else.

 

What does anyone else have and pics would be nice !!!

 

Thanks

one of my good friends has a 1972 stacked head light merc with a ford 5 litre V8 & he's just bought a set of Dolphin Gauges from the states. £200 all in delivered for 4" Speedo & Rev Counter & 2" Oil, Water, Fuel, Volt & Clock. They look the nuts. Very classic.

I do like the look of them !!!

Did they come with a fitting kit ?

I was looking at those Dolphin gauges last year. They really are very sexy...

 

 

Same shape as the anglia, but I don't think the dimensions are the same.

I saw those on the website there's also some with the rev counter.

 

What's in your van Mike ?

A normal Anglia speedo. It shows 90mph when I'm doing 60. It reads approx 30% higher than the speed I'm doing. So 30mph shows 42ish. 40 shows 55ish.

That's about the same as mine then !!!

 

Took it out on the bypass today saw a mate of mine in his Audi and tried keeping up with him, spoke to him after wards and he told me we were doing just over a ton !!! He thought acceleration was good though.

 

So i know roughly how fast it is now, not bad for a 1600 pinto !!!

You met up with him on the bypass, and then went down to that private test track nearby to test your speed, didn't you

Heres how my 100e is.

 

If you look to the top right, next to the rev limiter, theres a piece of paper with scribbling on. My 80mph speedo is out, and 80 isnt enough anyway. So i took my sat nav out and stayed at a steady speed and measured the revs. I did it at different speeds etc so you can work out how fast your going from the revs.

 

Problem is, ive just fitted a 3.54 diff and it renders it all useless, but i though it might be a good idea for you if you cant sort the speedo out.
