Speedhut Gauges

Found these over at the GN forum. Can get them custom engraved and they have memory settings to boot.



Check out the Turbo 6 in the gauge.

In additon to recall of the tach and speedo, shift light and you can set warning lights for all the gauges

Re: Speedhut Gauges

Those would look really cool in a GN. Dont know how well they would look in a thirdgen. I'll stick with my autometer Pro-comp ultra's

Re: Speedhut Gauges

I'm glad I ran across this as I think I've found my gauges. I've been trying to figure out how I was going to tackle the T56 + cable driven speedo issue in my '88. I haven't really been turned on by the aftermarket options enough to let loose of $800. I wasn't exactly excited about paying $350+ to have my tailhousing modded for cable driven speed sensor output just to use the stock gauges.

The look of the gauges makes happy enough to spend the duckets...

Re: Speedhut Gauges

Well, the gauges arrived today. I will say I'm mostly happy with these gauges just looking at them in the box. However, it looks like there is a small square raised area on both the speedo and tach. We'll see how it ends up looking when installed and lights on...

Re: Speedhut Gauges

Vexter, those gauges look boss ! I am in the market for gauges now and had never heard of these, utterly awesome. Please tell me more about the install process. I was looking toward the dakota digital gauges because they have that "Plug everything into this" hub that I like. What is the install process on these ?

Re: Speedhut Gauges

Omni - I haven't started the install yet. I'll be doing the gauges at the same time as the T56 install (almost ready for that). However, these don't appear to be strictly plug-and-play. Each instrument comes with it's own sensor and wire/cable. The only exception to this is the fuel gauge which uses the existing sensor.

I haven't figured out what I'm going to do about turn signal and high beam lights yet. I don't want anything like what's in the OP's pic. I need to get these mounted up in the Covan's panel and hook up some power to see how they're going to look.

Let me know if I can answer anymore questions.

Re: Speedhut Gauges

Ok, a couple more pics. Granted, my picture taking abilities could use some refinement, but you get the idea. I finally mounted the gauges in the Covan Panel and hooked up 12vdc in a dark room. The results are attached...
