Default Autometer Ultra-Lite Gauges

Thinking of getting Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Air/Fuel. Anyone got them or have any opinions on them?

Also, whats better - electrical or mechanical as regards accuracy, reliability, fitting etc?

And no I'm not buying Defi's as I dont have that much money to burn

Thanks in advance

I got them, give me a min I might be able to find the pic.

Anyway, I have boost in the A pillar and AFR, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure in a 3 gauge defi-style pod. Bought them from the states. Boost was £30 from states 2nd hand and the others were £90 brand new delivered from states. Pod cost me £65

Match very well to MY00 dash with the little green sock over the light bulb. AFR is pretty but not very accurate and I'm not sure how accurate the rest are but at least you get to know where the needle should be so if its not where it should be its an indcation that something might be amiss.

i had em in my cossie mate, were very relaible and nicly made, as said though the back lighting is not as bright as an electroiluminesent gauge, TBH though its fine at night and not too much of a problem.

I have the boost gauge. Not bad considering the cost. And they now finally produce metric versions for oil pressure and temperature instead of trying to work with degF
