The gauges you selected are very unique! Can you provide more details?

Also, in the photograph it appears that you have customized the 140hp engine badge on the console so that the right flag is rising up at an angle. Are the flags being used as some form of electrical toggle switch?

The gauges are vintage gauges with speedo in center tach at right and quad to the left with fuel temp volt and oil pressure . The flag is just for look I placed it center console it’s angle up with step when I built console goes to back seat and cover electric e brake with button hidden inside the lid . Temp gauge sending unit is on the number 5 cylinder larger bolt for tip cover which hits 185 at normal operating temp .

Just beautiful. What a fantastic job. Like a beautiful lady, you can't help but stare.

Oh ok, that's why it reads so low. It isn't anywhere near the combustion chamber and it is in an ambient temperature air area. The factory sender is on the bottom of the head and the tip gets as near as possible to the combustion chamber. Other air cooled engines run the sender under the spark plug.

Yes it lets me know operating temp not exact but it slows me to keep an eye on temp and still use high gauges .
