Yup, that's the one I'm talking about. What are you using for a gauge?

I'm planning on using this one:

I'd like to get a stainless steel type gauge as I think that would accent the black fabric/leather overlay better, but that's cheap, the right ohm rating, and will probably work just fine.

if that floats your boat. I walked down the gauge asile at summit last friday, and didn't really like that one in person.

There's not a whole lot of fuel level gauges that meet the proper requirements of our senders. In fact my only choice is this one:

Fuck that noise. BELIEVE me as I've been down this rd a few times. Keep the stock sender (which that gauge won't work with) and get one of the programmable Autometer gauges.... TRUST me on this one. Aftermkt senders are such junk.

vex · 03-07-2011, 01:27 PM

Found some more fuel level gauges:

I really like these gauges, but they don't sell the fuel gauge alone:

Adjustable fuel gauge huh?... I suppose I should to eliminate more head aches down the road.

vex · 03-07-2011, 10:13 PM

I'm taking recommendations for fuel level gauge. The unicorn I'm looking for would have a stainless steel bevel with a black or stainless face and work with the stock sending unit (that means adjustable Ohm setting).

I told you, how many different ways can I say it? Pretty sure they have one with the SS bezel as well, if not look at Livorsi Marine

I've checked Autometer, they don't have SS, they have chrome which when looked at next to SS it looks like cheap plastic. I'll check out Livorsi Marine.

For my reference:
(All Autometer fuel level sensors with adjustable Ohm readings)

Here's yer damn pics!

See what I mean about the angle that the dash should be at isn't close to the angle of the back of stock dash?

Also see what I mean about the side that you need so as not to see the plastic?

vex · 03-08-2011, 01:10 AM

Is the angle more out of visual necessity or is it out of physical limitations?

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-08-2011, 01:51 AM

Visual necessity

vex · 03-08-2011, 11:34 AM

In that case I'll need to hold off until I get the digi dash delivered to verify the proper angle of viewing.
