Click?

Got it from Demon Tweeks. Not perfect but close enough ?

Paul,

How much are you willing to pay for a boost gauge ?

Check out these SPA Design Gauges not only are they probably the most similar design and lit gauge (if you get the red back lit one) but they use an electrical stepper motor so no flicking about, just a nice smooth, steady display and much more accurate.

The down side, they cost £130 !

Hi Paul,

The best to match the original black dials is the Mocal boost gauge IMO.

It doesn't have a amber light though

It's a clear one. But I'm thinking of opening the unit and replace the bulb for an amber look. I just don't know how to do it

But if someone has the knowledge please come forward

I've got that one too

Let me know if you find out how to change the light colour!

On my previous Coupe the Equus gauge came with a little "condom" which went over the bulb to change the illumination colour.

seriously, IMO, nothing beats Defi BF meters...
Take the Amber version... it blends really well...
