Fair point.

The dash on my 97 blade has one of the mounting brackets snapped off, its broken off the rear casing, which seems to mean needing a whole new unit, or bodging / bonding a bit of plastic or metal to it.

I was thinking about getting some nice looking gauges and making a nice cnc housing, or perhaps something composite.

I'm looking for
Tacho, 0-12 or 0-14 etc.
Speedo, 0-160 or 0-180 preferably with a trip and odo
Temp guage, needle
Some warning lights, though I could likely make something up for these as they're just bulbs after all.

If they're super expensive like Stack gauges or something it becomes less worthwhile as the idea was to do something that looks nice for less money than a replacement oe one.

Some of the ones I've found try to put too much into one clock, like fuel guage, all the warning lights etc. Which I done like either.

I can. It's another one of those sites that list their products by brand. How can I tell what's available in what price range, when I have to search Koso, then Daytona, then Smiths...

Makes me not want to use the site.
