Hello everyone

I was wondering, those of you that have replaced your gas and temp gauges, What did you replace them with ? and where did you get them? Any help would be most wonderful thanks in advance

My gauges came from http://www.summitracing.com/ and are made by AutoMeter. Cost was somewhere in the $60 each range. Just remove the four bolts that hold the panel in place, twist the bars hard left and remove the panel. Disconnect the gauges and install the new ones.

Use the search engine on this site for info on how to install the ones you want. Oil pressure is the hardest and voltmeter is the easiest.

VDO Gauges...

You can buy these on Amazon, eBay, Summit Racing, etc. I even bought some on eBay that were from a wrecked late model BMW.

They are very good quality as in used on BMW & Porsche and are easy to install. I used digital gauges on my 1st RT but like the analog VDOs better..

replaced both analogs with digital oil pressure gauge and larger digital clock, both made by pro gauge for 2 1/16"- both working fine

Depo gauges Stepper Motor Series.

Try these. I have seen them on RT's before, and have used them in other applications. Will put a temp and volt to replace mine. I don't mind having a temp gauge on mine...The fuel gauge sucks, rather have it on the digital display. http://www.deporacing.com/product.php?count=100&page=2&pages=17&type=B

Did you change your handlebars out Steve?

Do you recall the part number for the ram mount you put there? Any special instructions for anyone wanting to do the same?

I will lookup the info on the ram mounts. I also put a ram ball on the butler drink holder so it would be interchangeable. You have to put a small plate or disk on the back side of the dash to mount the ram base. If you need close up pics or want my number just PM me your info. I got the stainless steel button head screws and nylon lock nuts at Home Depot.
