    What gauges to use?

    I would give Classic Instruments a call regarding their new Bel Era III package. It looks amazing and for original looks, no one is even close. I have had great luck with mine and their tech support is amazing. Thanks Classic Instruments

    Welcome to the site!

    Is this an ad for Classic Instruments? If so it should be in the Classifieds section. Are you employed by them?

    Personally my opinion at this time is that the Dakota Digital VHX series gauges are the best on the market in terms of great looks and modern technology. They are backlit and use stepper motors like new vehicles, and have some programmability. The VHX pricing looks to be cheaper than CI too.

    What do you feel makes the Classic Instruments gauges better? I don't even see a Bel Era III setup on their website. I think the Bel Era II gauge cluster is fugly.

            That's not bad looking if you want an updated stock look...a lot better than the Bel Era II set. What technology is used? Are the needles lit? Is that a mechanical odometer? No tach?

                If you're from Classic Instruments, which it would appear that way since you used the name. Why not just come out and say what you want without trying to beat around the bush?
                Don't worry, no one is going to strong arm you for cash like Otis does. However you may not get any sales either.

                      Holy cow, that's a LOT more expensive than Dakota Digital VHX and I'm pretty sure that doesn't include the bezel. I'd also want a tach myself.

                      BTW, I just paid $700 for a brand new DD VHX set and they're only $795 directly from DD.

                        That is the nicest looking aftermarket cluster I have seen. But without a tach, I see no reason to install one.

                          I like it to and for the same reason id like a tach. I spoke with them a little bit ago and they do offer chrome tach cups for the column. For originality, they nailed it
