Hi everybody I’m trying to finish up the dash and am searching for a Classic Instruments oil pressure gauge to match the others in the car. I have a working VDO gauge in there now and also have a spare Dynamo gauge like the one in the picture. My dream situation would be to trade the two gauges I have for the oil pressure gauge to match the rest in my dash. Other wise if someone has the matching Classic Instruments oil pressure gauge they want to part with PM me with the details and we can go from there. Oh and the tach I have may also be available if all goes well.Thanks Craigo

BTW, Craigo, what are you running that needs a 10k tach?!

November 28, 2010 at 12:51 pm #243063Thanks for the tips. I’ve been scouring the mentioned sites for quite a while and the one I’m looking for never seems to pop up. So I figured I’d give the forum a shot, you never know who may have swaped stuff out to match, unlike my dash with the mismatched stuff.
The tach in my dash came with the car. I’m trying to keep the build cost down so looking for the crusty used stuff is just fine for me. Plus because the car isn’t show worthy and has more of a vintage vibe the old stuff is fine, I really just want it all to match.
