Engine sync gauge or?????
I am in the process of replacing the dash in my scarab and I have a VDO engine sync gauge. It is the large cut out 3 1/2" or so and it is between the tachs.
First, is there anywhere to get a replacement for this? Second, if not what to put in it's place????
I already have the tachs and gps speedo, the sync gauge is ugly as all hell so I do not want to keep it but I can't seem to find one, or have any ideas of what to replace it with.

Keep it. There are replacements out there. The sync gauge is much more accurate for syncing your motors then looking at your tachs. The sync gauge is a direct differential between the RPM signals from your motors, and not an interpretation of them.

Can you post a pic? Have you tried Ebay? Have you looked around online? On my last two boats, I had no problems finding new Sync gauges. Even if it does not match the other gauges perfectly, you still want one. If it's a VDO, then they are out there.

I have a sync gauge too. I was thinking of installing the larger 5 inch gauges to replace the tachs and speedo...haven't checked to see if they will fit yet. Of course the 5 inch gauges mean a new pdash panel...ugh

I didn't know if gaffrig/livorsi/auto meter made on that I could get. A 3 3/8" clock would be stupid, I don't like the idea of a blank, I will figure something out I guess.
