Whether you have them to keep an eye on your stock motor or to make sure your custom power house keeps cool. give us a look and a bit on info on how you did it 😀
dash...
not quite done but should be all visable with a 350mm steering wheel, probably more work than you are looking for though...
fuel gauge going on the lower 1/2 of the RHS of the 2nd pic, the rest will be on a screen/in glovebox/under dash etc at this stage 🙂
3rd pic is similar style, its SIDES car on here(hope ya dont mind me posting)

Nice 👍 the gauges alone would have cost enough let alone all the time you put in. with all of that working you'd know everything about your engine, do need all that information?
Is the dash considered structural? i.e. can you just cut bits out?
Hi
This is what I had in my old 1302, it was nearly all Stewart Warner stuff.

My Jaycar intake temp readout in the ashtray
i had a similar setup in my black bug
and my Lbug currently has this layout for a few more weeks, new setup is currently under construction
benefits of a curved window hey joel, ugly dash but lots more room 👍

That's true, but I'm actually going the other way and minimalising what's there
I replacing nearly all my gauges with a digital cluster thats got speedo, tacho, fuel gauge, temp gauge, warning lights etc all in one unit
im sick of having old inaccurate analog fuel gauge and speedo, and no trip meter/accurate odometer is pissing me off too
how can you have so many gauges and be able to keep your eyes on the road aswell
ha, i also used to have Boost and AFR gauges too
my new one will be much simpler with just oil press and water temp at the bottom and rest will be in the digital dash cluster

Yah, no probs - all good dude.
There's actually a few that you can't see in that pic... 2 head temp gauges, the AFR box plus of course the TerraTrip on the Nav's side. Haven't quite figured a place for the EGT gauge yet...

Heh heh - you don't - instead just have the important ones sitting on edge of sight line. For my case (race car) that's the Christmas Tree just above wheel, the 4 temp gauges in the cluster to the left, and the big red oil pressure light that can light the whole cabin up.

Here is my L bug dash with guages.
From your ole' mate Jeff
Nice to see your showing off your flashy dash you made Jeff , Top work i love what you've done with it. In Half an hour Howie will be here to drop my bug round = ]
From Dylan
Hey Dylan, where has the car been dropped too? Your Dads?
From your ole' mate Jeff
Jeff , Yes it's at Dads , Mum thinks its too much of a bomb to be on the front lawn at her place so for now its in the car port at dads. Im not sure if you have seen it before but it was at howies farm , the dark blue 72 superbug. Im bringing it back from the dead for a new life. Im currently looking for a motor for it and am fixing the rust.
From Dylan
Hey Dylan just saw your new bugselecta looks great
This is something how mine will look when finished and of course matching Autometer speedo in the middle, with the backing plates to be painted the same colour as the car.
