Good point Rocky, I had thought about that a few months ago when looking
through a Summitracing catalog. Did Smiths make any vacuum gauges? I
noticed that Triumphs have a volt meter (TR6). Or should I just go with
Autometers? I have a air/fuel gauge temporarily mounted to the car that I
may put into the console.

The voltage gauge looks very close to the Smiths layout.

May I suggest a vacuum gauge? I find it very useful in sensing
changes in the running efficiency. I have also found eBay auctions
to be an excellent source of gauges.
