pinto to bike
I'm thinking of ditching the boat anchor, for a bike engine, my problem is the gauges, i want to keep the classic look , and i know my gauges
will be usless for the bike conversion.
What is the best way , and possibly cheapest way to use the right dials , and keep the same dash , i have Smiths 90mm speedo and rev counter at the
mo.
Cheers Brad.

Was just about to ask that myself!
Considered the idea of installing one myself years ago but soon decide against it. Especially when i decided to ditch the windscreen idea.

May be a stupid idea, but for the Rev counter I wonder if you could do something simple like 1/2 the pulses the dial saw..
You'd know what it was really showing... and could drive it just like a CEC  saves buying a 3.14 diff!

Would seem silly to convert 2 cars to end up with the same sort, and it would save a lot of work and cost???...its a thought?
