I included an rpm gauge to my "dash". In keeping with my chicrap free mandate for this rebuild, and wanting a gauge that would look period correct [1980] I found a US company called Speedhut. Pick your style/size/font/# impulses per rev/needle color/gauge color ect, and in a couple of weeks a package arrives. Works flawlessly.

Standard 2 1/16th or 53mm.

Eh dundee222, I don't see a bagpipe pressure gauge, sup wid dat!
Mackie

While a great idea,,,,, I like the sound of bagpipes with absolutely NO air in them,,, so I'd probably go with a vacuum gauge. LOL

No, these are the stock size. I was trying to emulate what Case would have done if they had built a "deluxe model". I had a hell of a time getting these to fit as it is, as there is really no room behind the dash as the battery is right there too! Here's a pic of the dash before the final product.

Gonna take some crazy long wiring and plumbing to run all the way up the hood, down to the hinge, and all the way back beside or inside the frame to hook up to the dash. Plus connectors at the hood hinge to allow the hood to come off for any repairs.
