Title: custom gauge layout
Post by: rabbit gti guy on December 11, 2007, 10:20:09 am
ok so im thinking of doing this custom gauge layout for my rabbit td.   im kinda sick of the stupid stock gauge cluster...

Im thinking of going with the Autometer Ultralite series gauges. I have a few questions...

what fuel level gauge do i need?   I dont know what the Ohm readings are on a 84 rabbit turbo diesel fuel sending unit...do i need to the universal one?

Im also looking at the Auto meter tachs and speedos...i know i need a mechanical speedo and im probably gonna need a custom speedo cable of some sort.  Has anyone done this before and know what i need speedo cable wise?   As for the tach, they have the diesel tach part #3788, and it uses a clamp on style probe trigger.   I know diesel wise they use the "W" terminal on the alternator, but does anyone have any experiance with this type of trigger?

any help is appreciated.

thanks
