They seem like a fairly awesome product, especially on an engine where screwing up the pan is easy. The whole engine capacity is 3.6 quarts of oil, I don't think I'd put one on something like my P71 or F250. Draining 5-7 quarts out of a 3/8" hole would take ages.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?


A custom ordered set of Speedhut gauges with a copy of the old Opel logo!


Not only are they super low profile and a lot lighter than the original gauges, that GPS speedometer also solves my utter lack of a speedometer drive. It updates at 5Hz and can show 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, heading, altitude, top speed, and some other stuff.


The old gauge cluster had 20+ wire colors and was a nightmare to look at. These suckers all daisy chain together off a single power source, all I have to do is plug in the sensor wires and give the main connector 12v and they're done.


A quick mock up with some Cardboard Aided Design


and I have this set of badly centered, fairly sexy gauges. They're designed to have their threaded collars clamp down on a panel so I plan on adding a flange to each of the gauge holes to mount them properly.

I was going to keep the original clock on the right but it looks a lot more out of place in person than I expected.

Oil pressure gauge instead?
