Which Instruments

[Mike Lloyd]

I need to buy a set of instruments.

From what I can see I have several options which will all cost a similar amount.

Westfield Supplied

VDO

Smiths

ETB

I assume westfield items are of a similar quality to VDO? Anyone got any recommendations which way to go

[Peter M]

The black faced that westfield supply are VDO's and the white faced are Smiths

Big vote for ETB, I bought a set for my car back in 2001/2 and the backup and support was first class (I had probs setting the rev counter with an early Weber Alpha) I sent it back for recalibration and it was returned next day FOC

VDO from Lowtension gets my vote.

Very helpfull, comes as a complete kit

Speedo/ tacho/ Fuel/ Water temp/ Oil press/ & volts if I recall correctly

& also included was

i.e with fuel tank sender, coolant sender oil press sender etc.

Only extra thing I had to purchase was the speed transducer.

I bought Telemetrix, good price, good looks(light grey dials), light weight

VDOs typically easiest to fit as the loom is normally ready for them.

Smiths has nice white dials but a trickier fit of speed transducer, (have to get separate loom wires back into scuttle probably from front wheel) several other sensors also change as you change instruments, can't remember exactly what!

ETB get my vote, very helpful, nice gauges that work without any problems and come in various colours like Yellow which is nice if you have a yellow car.

Used them in my last car too and they're still going strong

I was thinking of getting ETB, as you know my car is yellow, but I was thinking it would be too much and white dials might look better. I am still undecided. Did you have to make loom modifications. Although I do not think you went for the WF loom anyway?
