    Default The better of the cheap gauges

    I'm after an oil pressure and a volts gauge but I'm not willing to pay for Auto-meter, so what is the better of the cheaper brands?

    i got mine from bursons but have a pretty good trade account with them, i think you can buy direct from reline, but you have to ring up and order by credit card.

    hope that helps

    We've used a few Speco gauges. Had an electronic oil psi and water temp gauges in me wagz. Was waiting in the line up at a burnout comp and the oil pressure gauge died! Didn't know if it was a dead gauge or no oil pressure. Stopped the car, started it back up and it showed oil pressure again....so not sure wat happened. Now I just got an Autometer tacho and use the standard in dash oil psi and water temp gauges.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with Speco. I had an elec. oil pressure gauge that went straight to 100 psi then stopped working. I'll try pricol.
