    Hey all,

    I assume this is a "get what you pay for" item, but wondered if anyone had tried Faria? I like the looks of it, but would have to find the right location for a 4.5" guage.

    Looks very similar to the 3 in 1 gauges by New Vintage USA.

    So,

    With a little time here, I see this is a marine gauge for a boat engine. I can’t see how that would be a problem, but welcome thoughts & comments.

    We would likely build a wooden “box” to straddle the hump and angle the gauge up and towards the driver.

    Would ask the seller for any kind of instructions/spec sheet, have to see what kind of sensors it uses for Oil and Temp, plus see if Tach will operate with a V8 or if your engine is 6 banger...........
