Re: Formula Dash Panels
Not sure yet.....meeting with my sheetmetal vendor tomorrow. If they choose to re-fab the main panel....I'll have extra ones made. The others will just re refinished.

Re: Formula Dash Panels
Jeez Nort,
How many more guages you need to have? It's looking pretty busy up there ... I'm not sure I could monitor all those guages and still watch where I'm going. But then, I've always been easily distracted and starting to show my age.

Re: Formula Dash Panels
A is the best IMO however I am trying to figure out what all those guages could possibly be!!!
2 tachs
1 speedo
2 oil temps
2 oil preasures
2 water temps
2 water preasures
1 fuel guage
1 volt meter
2 engine hour meters
That got me to 12 and you still have a extra hole there.
I would get the tachs with the hour meter in them and then you can take out some more guages. OR hide the engine hour guages and the volt and fuel guage and make it easier to read. I would also suggest that you put your guages together. IE. port and starboard oil preasure together. That way you can just scan the dash and look at them to see if they are pointing in the same direction, not actually have to read them. That is how all the race boats are set up.
