Gauges

I was wondering what other type of gauges that would be nice to put in my repu cab. I plan to put them were the radio goes. I have Tach, Speed(need right cable to work, I hope), Volt, Temp, and fuel. My Temp and my fuel gauge do not work at this point in time. I need to look at the sending unit for the fuel. But I don’t have any idea what to do about the temp, anyone have any input there?

Here is a list of some gauges I was thinking about putting in there.
Oil Temp
Oil Pressure
Water Temp

Anyone have anything else I should put in there? I was looking at getting them from AUTOMETER. But does anyone else know of a good place to get some? I want to get some good gauges, that will do the right job.

Thank you,
:)

let us know if you find a good deal on autometer guages. another option is VDO guages, which are less expensive, but also looked down upon as lesser quality.

those are the choices that i have found myself so far if you want to get all your guages in one style and size.


When i'm finished i'm planning on having fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, exhaust temp (or air/fuel ratio) and voltmeter

the gauges are controlled by the ignition. maybe thats where the problem is. i have a complete set of stock gauges including the panel. Im interested in trading them for RX-3 parts.

Don't NEED those guages...

...but just in case, what rx-3 parts are you needing? If I know where they're hiding, I'll try to hook you up...

For which year rx-3 ?

...are the fenders different at all for different years? BTW, you must be doing a stock resto (?), otherwise, couldn't you use any number of seatbelts?

That’s right. Year would be helpful. My car is actually a 75 which was converted to an SP (taillights, rear spoiler, tranny and rear end) with small bumpers. I need 74 and up. yes, i would be restoring it. here's a photo from ss6.

Would any Rx3 Wagon, or 808 things work?
I don't have any Rx3 parts, I only know were some cars are. I also know were their is an Rx3 wagon and 808 in a wrecking yard.
