White Gauges

[Kai]

I was looking around for some EL gauges for my '88 N/A and i've come up with nothing. Tried looking for a set of just plain white gauges and i think i've come up trumps.

This place: http://www.importintelligence.com/FMPro?-DB=cart.fp3&-Format=8692Supra.html&-Token=12804723&-RecID=12804723&CustID=8692Supra.html

has sets of them for both turbo and non-turbo, although there are a few things in the way of just dumping money on them.

1) I dont know if it would fit into my RHD dash
2) The warning light layout in UK models isnt the same as the USDM, we dont have seatbelt warning, handbrake light takes its place, and the middle light is for front fogs (amber).

Heres a picture:

Anyone have any ideas on gauges, white, EL or otherwise?

Have you check out http://www.speedhut.com yet? They might be able to work something out for you.

Oooooh - shiny!

Cheers for that....

I got mine from speedhut...they are everything I hoped for

 

[Kai]

Looking good, although, the difference in the warning lamps is still an issue...and i wonder if anyone here has an RHD gauge cluster to compare these to for installation, that might be handy

I got my gauges from SpeedHut - I actually managed the group buy that got them going on the ones for the MkIIIs. I LOVE my SpeedHut gauges. The customization is great - nobody else has the same style faces that I do.

 

[Kai]

Do they do requests? ie - different cutouts?

 

[KeithH]

cutouts no... colors/fonts/etc yes.

Cutouts would require a new die and tooling.

actually let me clarify. They have a few different options for cutouts but you have to work with what they have already.

Oh well, was a nice thought. I wonder if Lockwood still does them for the Supra....

 

[Kai]

Nope - no joy - Supra's being unpopular cars here, they never made them. There was another manufacturer of gauges that i found once, and i've not found them again since - they did red/yellow/white and blue dial kits....anyone have any idea?

 

[Finnon]

are you on www.mkiiisupra.net mate? im sure there was going to be a group buy on there a while back for gauges

I got mine from speedhut complete with TRD on the Tach and Supra logo on the speedo hehehe, I will say get the dimmer switch when you get the kit it lets you adjust the lights a lot better and allows changing between blue and green lighting at night.

Cant get the speedhut ones, they have the wrong layout for warning lamps

And no, not on mkiiisupra.net either - i have to track 3 forums as it is - aaaugh!!! :aigo:

ok well at least sign up, say hello finnon told you to come over and then search for the dials. there was a group buy for them and they were all for uk cars

Can somebody who has ordered from speedhut.com please post up a picture of what your guages look like? I am interested in what the final quality is! Thanks!

Oh, and if you have both night and day shots that would be awesome!

 

[Kai]

Holy thread revival batman!

Yep - 'tis i, leclerc!

Anyway - i have found some Reverse EL gauges for the Mk3 Supra - and they look fan-fookin-tastic!

They're available for Turbo and Non-Turbo applications, in two different styles. I'm hoping that they do an RHD version, cause all my gauges are the other way round (or at least the needles are, anyway).

Here - check it for yourself!

No-one wants Reverse EL gauges?
