[DeTomaso] Mounting extra gauge on dash

[Chris Difani]

Don:

One other option is to replace two (or more) of the original Veglia gauges
with SPA Technique dual digital gauges.  For the original four "locations",
you can get 8 data streams.  These gauges have high and low alarms (or over
and under, as the case may be), fit our 52MM holes, are about 7/8" deep,
can come with either black rim, or chrome rim, black face, or white face,
and can be either blue, green, or red for the digital displays.

While they aren't cheap, they also aren't horribly expensive for what
you're getting.  Accuracy is, depending on what you want, either at 1 lb.
increments, or 0.1 lb. increments for pressures, and the other values are
similar.  Their "fuel quantity" is a 5 step gauge, that you calibrate,
starting with an empty tank.  The last gauges I got, fuel quantity and
voltage, was $240, and the oil pressure and coolant temp was $270.  They
also have wideband O2, EGT, and all the rest of the "usual suspects".

These are also well made, and of excellent design (at least to me).
They're made in the UK, and sold by SPA Technique USA in Indianapolis, and
by regional distributors.  The best prices I've found are at
www.scienceofspeed.com in Arizona.
