Morning all! Just checking. who is having the best run out of what gauges! I remember Auto Meter were real good! VDO! (couldn't find any VDO on TM) anything better! or as reliable! Just wanting to change out all the aftermarket 52mm gauges in the race car for something better - Volt, Oil pressure, Oil Temp, Water temp.

Capillary or electrical!

The one thing I did with my oil hose on the MG is I had one made from braided pipe instead of plastic tube, Last thing you need to break.

don't buy Auto Gage, total rubbish. Auto Meter are the racers choice, handle vibrations real well, VDO are ok too.

vdo are great. youngs automotive are big holders of it, and any auto sparky can get it if you ask.
