Default We're slaves to public opinion...

The digital gauge sneak pic didn't meet to rave reviews, so we went back to the drawing board. We originally wanted to use an analog gauge, but there is some serious fitment issues when using a standard 2 1/16" gauge diameter in the vent config.

Mark, true to his nature, scoured every gauge maker around the globe, and found a smaller unit that still matches the instrument cluster very closely. The test unit is at the machine shop getting fitted at this moment.

I'll try to post another teaser pic of this combo when I have one. That and pricing. Probably next week.<p>Todd

Default I still think digital boost and a V1 display would be best!

Default Yo Todd---

My company, Dresser Industries, now Haliburton, had a nice joint-venture going with VDO---they produce a 50mm size mechanical pressure gauge. In fact 50mm is a very popular gauge size in Europe with accuracy in the 1% FS range (DIN STD's).
Domestically, gauge manufacturers produce 1-1/2 gauges but usually in a commercial grade accuracy--2 to 3% full-scale accuracy. I hope you find that helpful.
Regards-
LOU
