Would like some input from those that are/have used these 356 gauges. I do realize they are in KPM. How's the lighting, accuracy, do you need to buy additional senders? I found a used set for a good price. CMC still with oem white face vintage gauges.
Thanks,
David

All 3 are 100mm size and in excellent condition.
Have you seen Greg’s (Vintage Motorcars) gauges he had made for him. Gorgeous and very good price!
I’d also look at Beck gauges. I have those in my Speedster and they work great!
Reliable ones are $200 less from Beck - same size and MPH/KMP combo

You will need new senders
Feeling dumb AGAIN--darn it. So the gauges are sold by Cip1.(http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDe...de=C34-356-GAUGE-SET) I have read about the others (Beck,VS etc)--just have found nothing in our group about these gauges. When you figure in the Beck senders it's an even game. The gauges I found are significantly less just need to find some info before spending more than I need too if these are like Cip1 says---German quality or equivalent. Don't know the origin of manufacturing but calling them today. So---anyone using them??
CIP does such a poor job on descriptions! I'd buy their Fuchs repro wheels but not trusting their description of a 5" backset and too costly to mail them back to CA from FL.
Is the speedo GPS driven? I'd think so but If so why the verbiage about factory preset? No country of origin. No mention of senders for gas or temp gauge included or required. They probably take std VDO ones but those are not compatible with VINTAGE gauges.
Vintage Motorcars gauges are made by Speedhut for Greg Leach. Gas tank sender can be any, the gauges are programmable to the sender. Speedo is GPS, an antenna goes under the dash board. Temp gauge comes with a 2-wire sender with 1/8" male pipe thread.
