Has anyone ever seen dual gauges?

I just found these (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=R/PPT1011BL12) at demon tweeks, which i thought would work nicely in Tri-pod (c) :p - allowing for a more varied set of readable displays.

I had a looky, but i couldnt see the likes of HKS doing them... anyone ever seen the "designer" brands do them?

Why does noone make a dual EGT gauge that looks good? I'm sure there must be something out there for the skyline and supra owners

Hmmm, why is this? i found the following ones.

EGT - http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/dualgauges.asp

Oil Temperature / Oil Pressure (http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/productdetails.asp?product=DG%20201|366) - £157

Volts / Water Temperature (http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/productdetails.asp?product=DG%20204|369) - £157

But, like you say Brad, they are not the prettiest of things.. Ive had a looky round Greddy, apexi and HKS... but none of them have nice dual gauges.

Oh, and im ideally looking for digital gauges for easy reading :smart:

That place is a little cheaper than the UK site. Kind of nice gauges though, and because they are for plane use they would be very accurate too

aye, im kinda liking them too... I was initially only going to get a digital meter for the voltage - cos as we all know our cars are voltage mad :|

but looking at the rest of them, im wondering whether just to get the lot in digital form :thinking:

I run an SPA for Oil pressure and Temperature... they are good gauges... they come with a red button too! to look at your peak holds and stuff... and you can set warning lamps to flash at certain levels... you can also adjust the sample / refresh rate for the sensors so they dont drive you potty by jumping all over the place...

can change the backlit colour too mine is green or red... think you might get a blue option now too...

all in all... I likes my one..

(edit: and just remmembered they have a inbuilt voltage warning too that comes up when your voltage drops below a certain level..... )

Heheh, lol! i was talking about this at lunch with Wouter. i mentioned that i was thinking of designing the pod to allow for areas to place buttons, and switches, i didnt though..... buttons hey? ace! :D

and aye, they do blue back light aswell - which means if i change the dash to blue (like VW) it will all look nice :D

Dan, youve helped me make up my mind.... SPA Gauges it is!
