    Thank Peter, still learning this computer stuff! It may be too late.... Anyway, here are the pics I meant to post!

    Still wondering what a Nuova Didoni is though!

    Thats a good find, the right diameter & the correct format dual needle to boot.
    Can you make it work as a temp gauge?

    I very much doubt it Craig but I haven't opened it up yet to see. I was toying with the idea of a new face for it saying "oil temp & water temp" but leaving it reading oil pressure and fuel pressure and then refacing other gauges to match the correct styles/wording but performing other functions such as oil temperature on an "oil pressure gauge", I'm sure you know what I mean but the mere thought of looking at a gauge that says oil temperature and going through a thought process to realise it's actually oil pressure isn't worth the hassle when a gauge starts reading something other than "normal"..... Plus I'd end up needing an extra gauge as the original Gp4 car never had a fuel pressure gauge. Yup, it's a dilemma alright!

    Next problem will be finding matching 60mm gauges with the correct needle deflections to modify for the remaining functions. Do these builds ever finish? Probably not...

    I think you know the answer to that in your heart of hearts Ian...

    Are you making any progress with your gauge manufacturers?
