add-on instruments

[tnas@dtpdirect.nl (Tom Nas, DTP Direct bv)]

Hi all,

Several people have written to the list in the past about adding extra
instruments to their Audis' dashboards. While browsing through the
catalogue of a Dutch electronics warehouse (like Radio Shack, but with a
525-page catalogue) I came across some instruments that would look nice in
Audis. This is the '96 cat, but I guess these are stil available.

They're round (52 mm dia), black, made by Equus (?).
Available types: Amps, Volts, Oil press, RPM, (oil/coolant) temp, clock,
turbo press. Prices range from Dfl 19.95 ($11) to 69.95 ($38). All are
round, analogue, white-on-black, and have a raised bezel like the old VW
add-on gauges used to have. Illumination is green, yellow or red (!).

There are digital versions of a couple of these, which can be set for
green, yellow or red illumination. Also 52mm dia. Types available: outside
temp, coolant temp, oil temp, oil press, volts, RPM, RPM for Diesel
engines. These units look neutral (read: almost OE) and would fit Audis
with a black dash very well. Cost: between $30-$40 each.

There are also (black) consoles available for mounting one, two or three of
these instruments on top of the dash, angled towards the driver.
I've seen these instruments for sale in the UK as well, and I'd wager
they're available in the US, too.

BTW no affiliation, ...

HTH,

Tom.

  "Can you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here," asked Alice.
  "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the cat.
