[urq] RE : Small electric gauge needed

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Thanks all,

It may sounds foolish, but I don't want to remove the actual diff lock
panel... because I bought this car just for it!
Let me explain. This is the only visual statement (with the boost gauge) of
the uniqueness of this car. Remove it, replace the boost gauge with a temp
gauge and this is now a Coupe, not a Quattro anymore. 
BTW, the diff lock lights are functional only since this winter, I don't
want to get rid of this "light show" when a newcomer asks: What is this? :-)

So back to my original question: is there a small bar graph LED meter that
you know of, in the style of the one in the 4kq, that comes from another
car?
I guess the answer is no so I may end doing a home built panel that will use
the signal from the actual OEM temperature and oil pressure sensors.
But this is electronic circuitry work. More to follow.


During my search, I found these guys:
http://www.omorimeter.com/products.htm). 

They have some interesting products: smaller 1 3/4" electrical gauges, and
dual gauges. For the "tuners" among us, they offer an EGT (exhaust gas
temperature) combined with a boost gauge. Or a 80 mm double gauge
http://www.omorimeter.com/80mm_twin_meter.htm for oil and water temps, etc.

Anybody has heard of these?

Thanks anyway,

What about moving the diff. lock switches and installing the coupe gt 
three gauge panel?  They come in two styles, matching/fitting the 
earlier and later style dashboards/center consoles.

The stock setup was voltage, oil temp & oil pressure, though I'm sure 
people by now have found boost gauges that blend in well enough to look 
right, if you'd rather have one of them.

It's usually not too hard to get the whole rig used, but you can also 
get both panels fairly inexpensively ($10-15 each?) from your friendly 
Audi dealer.
