How many gauges have you???

[MikeNash]

Well Mo, my "sensor" as you call it is an ancient electro-mechanical counter in which each SU petrol pump pulse is allowed to go thro' a coil so that a pawl is pulled back and operates a decade counter. It functions much the same as your mile-ometer in your speedo. Mine has a "set zero" press button at the side and looks much like this

Using a calibrated can, about 2100 pulses of SU pump pass one (Imperial) gallon - but I need to do a few checks more before I'm confident. So when I'm ready, a steady speed on a flat road on a calm day, a wrist-watch and the counter will give me a miles per gallon figure.

Wot fun! MikeN.

3, soon to be 4 (excluding the speedo and fuel gauge!).

Got an oil pressure, voltmeter (swapping for an ammeter soon) and a vacuum gauge (actually don't approve of them, but this one's a nice Redex one and I had to fill the gap). The void is soon to be filled with a water temp gauge.

Both of mine have just one-
The convertible project has an ammeter

and the 2 door has a temp gauge[frame][/frame]

When i get the convertible on the road I will probably fit it with a temp and oil pressure gauge aswell.

Does anyone know where the optional water gauge was mounted? I used the empty ash tray (prior to revised dash) holes. It looks just like this last poster. Or was simply up to where the installer wanted to put it?

[DaisyMayFozz]

It was up to the installer where they would put it, but like you have said, the ashtray holes are perfect for this sort of thing, which is why I put mine there!

i have the usual speedo and an oil pressure, engine temp and clock , useful but a bit stressful too i've noticed my new engine runs a whole lot cooler than my previous new engine ....should i worry

Neat installation, but 'clock' - seriously?? I have one on my wrist - it works well enough......

tut tut hands off steering wheel to roll up sleeve in order to read watch face and at night impossible to see , whereas my nicely illuminated clock works a treat , tbh i dont wear a watch , i have a couple but i just forget to put them on . i've always had a clock in my car no idea why really , useful if you are timing your journey and making sure you're in time for last orders !

[bmcecosse]

My GPS tells me all that ....

I was bidding on a clock like yours and they go for silly money!! I really really want a ambient temperature gauge!! Soooooooooo bad!!!

i know i bought that one full price think it was over 50 quid i had bid on a few on ebay and got beaten to the draw got fed up and wanted to finish the car off ,heres a tip i used some years ago , i have an old rover p5b saloon and the kienzle clock used to charge then run then charge , this is fine unless you have an alarm system fitted , which activates with sudden current surges what i did was get the mechanism out of a vauxhall cavalier clock from a scrappy and fit it into the body of my kienzle clock , i had to change the hands over and it was a bit fiddly , but you might be able to pick up a non working clock for a couple of quid on evilbay and then stick a used modern movement in , i reckon you could have a half decent clock for less than £15
