[DeTomaso] Veglia Gauges: the weekend dumb question

[jderyke at aol.com]

Chuck, I'd be willing to bet that Veglia gauges used in a Ferrari do NOT use cheap, mismatched Ford electric senders. IMHO this is where the inaccuracy lies, not in the gauges themselves. FWIW- J DeRyke

   Dear Forum,




                       I recently saw a lovely video from AutoWeek about a
   bespoke car builder in New Zealand who hand fabricated a classic
   Ferrari  250 GTO for a customer.    As I watched it, I noticed that the
   Ferrari GTO copy used Veglia gauges.


                       I have heard aspersions and insults cast upon the
   Pantera Veglia gauges for inaccuracy, variability, etc, etc.   I had
   assumed that they were mundane, run of the mill, cheap, average Italian
   gauges.



                       However, Ferrari used them on the iconic 250 GTO
   and raises my weekend dumb question:



                               Veglia gauges: how good are they really in
   the context of Italian sports cars of the sixties and seventies?




                                         Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
