Gauges. Digital vs Analog display
Hey all,
Im here to ask the forum to help me decide which style gauges I should get.
Not trying to start a Defi vs Blitz vs Autometer debate, just which style display you would prefer.
I currently only have a Pettit boost gauge (remarked Autometer) mounted via the pettit mount (A pillar location) and aDawes Air/Fuel ratio meter mounted steering column.
I would like to add the following gauges via the MickyMouse center speaker gauge pod and another A pillar mount.
1. Water Temp
2. Oil Temp
3. Tranny Temp (have an auto)
4. Outside Air Temp
I have found a couole really nice looking digital gauges, but am concerned about the visibilty in sunlight.
So which gauges would you prefer looking at? Digital or Analog?
Here are the digital gauges Im looking at getting...
Digital Dakota
Nordskog
Nordskog's digital tach and speedo are freakin sweet.
Tach
Speedo
Thanks for the help

I personally prefer analogue gauges. IMO it's easier to glance at an analogue and know were the needle should be rather then having to actually read the numbers of a digital diplay. The tacho and speedo aren't so bad because they have the bar graph as well.
I use Autometers Carbon Fibre Series myself and I'm happy with them.

Ya I guess Im kinda partial to analog gauges as well, its difficult to see trends on a digital gauge.
But they do look cool....
Thanks for the input
And ya RonKMiller: I like your idea too! I think I will snag a full panel EFIS outa a US Airways B-767 when they aution them off.
