Default Anyone bought Auto Meter gauges ?

Hi, as above - am thinking of buying these :

Impreza Gauges, Gauge Pods, Boost Gauges and Packs, Sandwich fitting kits and gauge holders :

I know most people will tell me to fit Defis - but then we do have a recession

Thanks

Keith,

I've used Auto Meter gauges in most of my hot rods and they've been excellent. Most of the drag racing lads using them too, as they're robust, vfm and accurate. Have a look on the Summit racing website at the full range: Gauges, Analog - summitracing.com

We can still get 10% off these if you are interested
Fantastic gauges for the money.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

The Auto Gauges look good Nick.

I've also seen a lot of good reports on the Prosport as well.

But I think I'll get the Auto Meter gauges as nobody has bad stories and they have white faces and will go with the white dials in my MY98 Classic.

I'm going for the same - and that's what I wanted to hear

Did they come with all needed adapters or did you need to get some extra bits ?

The only thing i needed to do is make a remote pipe for the oil presure sender as there was not enough room to fit it direct to the block.
The thread size was the same as the standard presure switch so no need for adapters. I made my own remote pipe using brake pipe as they use the same size unions and then mounted it on the pas reservior. The oil temp sender was a lot less work as its only small and fitted that to the blanking bung above number three cylinder.
