Golfpro Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 hi. I was wanting to install a 50mm gauge to match my 60mm Blitz Mirror Drive gauge. It has a black backlit face (which goes black when power is off) and a silver bezel. I have seen Defi gauges which look very similar but which need the control unit to work. I have also seen one called STRI DSD but have no idea what the build quality and accuracy is like. Does anyone know any alternatives or has used the STRI?

Nic Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 The new 52mm Defi Racer Gauges are standalone and do not require a control unit.

I know that sounds a bit picky but every new part in the whole project has been chosen to compliment eachother. I was looking for one similar to the Defi BF but stand alone.

I know that sounds a bit picky but every new part in the whole project has been chosen to compliment each other. The bezels shown are plastic and just clip on and off, they are the standard Defi aluminium silver underneath http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/product/op/op_bezel.html http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/product/op/images/bezel-install.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfpro Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wrong http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/product/rg/images/opening.jpg Is the needle in front of the glass? It dosnt disappear when the power is off. On the Blitz MD all you can see is the black glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
