I assume that engine temp is water temp and fuel economy is vacuum? You are missing oil temp and ammeter!

My gauges:

Have to admit they are not easy to read but I did not want to chop up the fascia.

Seen on a car at last years Hastings show:

Loses the radio but IIRC it had a Sprint engine and they said they would rather listen to that.

I have oil temp, oil pressure, vacuum, water temp, and a clock in that little cluster of 5 (I blanked off the old clock and temp gauge on the dash with some badging) but if you kept the original dash gauges, went for a three pod on top of the dash, and squeezed 4 into the old switch panel space, that would give you 11! [:0] (although the cabin would probably resemble an aircraft!)[:D]

Too many gauges just gives you more to worry about [;)].
I'm happy enough with my one extra gauge for the oil pressure......
....until I get my twin turbos and then I'll need a turbo boost gauge [}:)] [:D] [:D].
