Hi all,
Unfortunately I don't have access to the gauges to check the sizes on the v8 coupe at the moment, can anyone tell me what size they are if looking for upgrades?
The small ones are around 2" but I've seen 22mm advertised as well as 2 1/16", 2 5/8". Does anyone know which it is?
Also what size are the speedo and rev counter? I've seen 100mm, 4", 4 1/2" and 5 1/2"
Thanks!!

The smaller gauges are 2" or 50mm. Larger ones are 4.1/4" or 108mm. These are the hole sizes

[/quote]Just curious, but what sort of upgrades would be possible with the P5B Coupe instrument gauges? What did you have in mind? [/quote] Well replacement really. I prefer more modern backlit gauges and the americans have a huge market for retro and custom cars which still produce the 6 dials that we use for our cars. Everything from backlit, retro, white dials to digital are available but at a price. On ebay currently there is a chinese company selling the 2" ones at about £6 to £9 each which are white. Probably wont last 5 mins but at that price you can look different and replace them each year! I have found a really nice custom set of gauges which I have customized for the Rover, however the price is huge. I could do a lot of improvements to the interior or engine for the same money..  |
