I would definently go for omori but can't find them anywhere. I wanna go for a more oldschool look, the defi gauges look great but are more of a modern look, i reckon the greddy gauges are more period correct for a sprinter.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Robo86 @ Aug 24 2008, 09:51 AM) </div>aren't most of the omori gauges mechanical gauges though?? i thought the black faced ones were all mech and the white ones were elec..

the greddy ones are nice look a bit more "period" with the black face adn simple numbering

Does anyone know anything about saber gauges? Like were there made or anything, just being doing some searching on them and everyone says there great etc etc but can't find a whole lot of info on the gauge itself.

The greddy ones i was looking at are discontinued on the greddy site, yet there still on modyourcar.com.au, so i don't know if you can actually get them still?

There is also a new autometer gauge coming out, but there all imperial measurements which sucks.

little known fact:

defi is owned by nippon-seiki, who make instrument panels for BMW, Daihatsu, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motor, Subaru and Suzuki

they're also the largest manufacturer of motorcycle clusters

dunno about you, but if a company is making instrument panels for BMW and the others mentioned, they know their shit inside out, therefore, i don't doubt their quality one bit
