Installed the remaining 2 Speed Hut gauges

[aviationfred]

The Tachometer and fuel/volt gauges were delivered today. Spent the evening doing the actual install and wiring. Tomorrow I will program the Tachometer and set the fuel and volt gauges to the proper readings.

Hey Fred,
Nice gauges, do like the blue, kind of reminds me of mine lol
Speed hut has so many choices its hard to make up your mine.
I was thinking when I saw you did the speedo what about the rest ? 
Nice job!!!

Nice job Fred!

I like Bob's gauges, except in mph, not kph......I think the oil temp gauge is bitchen.
I haven't checked lately, can Speed Hut do red lighting on the numbers, like oem?

These are very, very cool.

I have done 4 complete, 3 gauge sets.  I have found that some color choices work better than others.

Colors that I have done.

1. Cream face w/black numbers, orange needle. Night view, face glows cream w/black numbers, orange needle. Very easy to read day or night.

2. Standard Speed Hut default. Black face w/white numbers, orange needle. Night view is the same as day view. Very easy to read.

3. Silver face w/black numbers, orange needle. Night view, face glows blue w/black numbers, orange needle. Very easy to read in daylight, not as good at night, but not terrible.

4. Blue face w/white numbers, white needle. Night view, face glows blue w/black numbers, Orange needle. Very easy to read in daylight, very difficult to read during sunset. Nigh view is ok, but not great.

I think Mark Lowe in Australia did the black face w/red numbers and has mentioned they are difficult to read at night.

I think this would look awesome on the 1100 and '86/'87 1200's. Night view is Black face w/white numbers and orange needle.

Thanks Fred, yes I did get your PM but unable to call....house full of grandkids (girls) and I'm losing my mind.

Damn Barbies everywhere....now they want ice cream....
Just what they need, now they will be up until midnight.

What's a Papa to do? Strap a helmet on them, take them on a tuning run on my FJ.
Make them pee their pants....yea.....

[aviationfred]

Programming and install are complete. I am very pleased with the results. The black numbers are a bit difficult to read at night. Will take some getting used too.

Just when I thought I was all set with my gauges... 

These are absolutely gorgeous. Fred, do you know if Speedhut can integrate a gear indicator in there somewhere?

Also, check your battery:

What is the depth of the gauges?
I can get GPS gauges here in RSA that is 85mm on the face and 70mm deep.
And it is completely waterproof.

Thanks

Found this one just now.

Both my FJ's are restricted,those pink stripe FJ's,so the 200km/h will be fine.

Good find, the first set of gauges I tried were LCD crystal. After 3 years, the display began to degrade due to heat.

The Speed Hut gauges are 25mm deep

You know we have a fix for that.....the fun just begins at 200kph

Hi Pat

Please tell,but I think I know what you are going to say.
Buy an '84

   A 200kph speedo is definitely undergunned!
