One 0f the interesting things about aircraft gauges is that they can be had so that they do not present in a fixed arc - that is to say the temperature plate rotates in a circle behind a marked lens and can provide a wider range of more accurate readings. I want to find oil pressure as well as transmission (5 speed) and oil temperatures. However, I would also like to consider a second tree in the A Pillar with exhaust temperature as well as master cylinder and fuel pressure. Trying to keep my ashtray as I use it. I want to avoid an screen based gauge solution, mostly because I find it easier to follow a analogue gauge on the road.
