LAMCO steering column boost gauge
 

hi,
I have a LAMCO boost gauge on the steering column (OEM) on my blobeye, basically what I wanted to do is change it for a better looking one without to much messing around, dont want it to be to big (60mm) and want to find out if it can be connected to the existing boost pipe/wires.........

:wonder: anyone? :wonder:

Was thinking about doing the same as mine has started misting up. I was hoping I could keep the pod and just change it for another one as the pipe and wiring is the same as any other mechanical type boost gauge :thumb:

yup mines doing the same its misting up, and want to keep the pod as you've said? have you see any gauges that could work?

It needs a 52mm to retain pod. Defi did an STI genome one but it isn't the mechanical type like the lamco, I've seen them for sale on ebay but not cheap as they are rare but definitely the best match to sti dash clocks.

hmm.........what other gauges will work? like you I just want to do a straight swap. 52mm will definitely be a straight swap??

Best just do a search for 52mm boost/vacuum gauges on ebay and just find the one your happy with.

i had a look at another forum and the guy there is saying only a 45mm gauge will be a straight swap?

Think you could be right I've never measured it but I've always thought it had a large border to it that made it appear smaller..... Best way is to measure it I suppose.

ave just removed 3 centre lamco gauges from my newage and sure they are 45mm

my one on steering colum and 3 centres are also less than 52mm

OEM lamco is 45mm
the size is kind of exotic but omori, prosport seem to make boost gauges like this

Yea I like the look of the prosport but want it to be green to look OEM, the Omori 1s seem hard to find....would a 52mm fit in the standard pod??
