"A" Post Gauge Questions ????

Hi, I am putting in a triple "A" post gauge mod and wondering which boost/vac and fuel pressure gauges to go with. I would like them to some what match the stock 01 coupe gauges. I don't want to over spend but DO want Quality. I also want to mount my Raptor there, and am wondering what to use as an adaptor to get to the 2 1/16th" opening. Best location for each gauge and shift light? PS, If any body has good used pieces I may consider that option. Pictures and supplier would would also be helpfull, as will as any ideas to help make the job easier. Thanks in advance!

Here you go pal. If you can't find what you're looking for on this website, no one is going to be able to help ya.

Put your cursor of the guages and it will start scrolling...over three dozen models to choose from.

Been there done that. Need some history answers like electric or manual. etc. Looking at Sport Comp in elec. or Z series in manual. Everything helps make the first purchase the correct one. Thanks again.

Saw you mentioned sport comp. Those use the incandescent bulbs and always look yellowish and not too bright at night. Get the sport comp II gauges as those are LED through the dial lighting and look much nicer at night.

Only drawback with the LED through the dial lighting is you cant change the color of it since the LED's are on the circuit board and not a single bulb.

I used an Dynotune Gauge housing to make a custom Nitrous Status "Gauge"

If the raptor can be mounted to a flat surface I can make (or any engraving shop near you) the insert that would fit into the housing as pictured.

Are the Nexus gauges a pain to set up? With both electric gauges do you only need one 6400 remote? Your talkin about $725.00 for the three pieces if you only need one remote which is all I think you need. They do look good. I guess I won't have as big a lump under my left cheek if I get these. Theres got to be something just under this that is Quality without needing a remote.$$$$????
