160 MPH

Resettable Trip odometer.

Includes 5/8" - 18 threaded cable input with .104" square drive. Speedometer cable not included.

That's one of four Autometer gauges I'm planning on installing in the '70. I've seen other Zs with Autometer stuff and they look pretty nice. I just wish some gauge manufacturer would make combination units that would 1) fit, and 2) have a semi-factory look to them.

I've got the 120 speedo in the Scarab along with tach, water, fuel and oil pressure.

Water, Fuel and Oil pressure gauges...

Sure look nice, but I'd still like a fuel and an amp/volt gauge in my car. Any idea if there are any really good places to get 2-3 gauges in other places? A-pillar, or underdash pod?

A fuel pressue guage? Is that what your wanting? A pillar guage pod you want is from a First gen miata 90-98 auto meter part number 20660

any special way to get this speedo to fit in the stock dash?

nevermind, figured it out already.

I know this is a very old thread but how did you make the box for the signals, brake, and high-beam? I was going to make my own thing but that looks rather nicely done and if I could mount the leds I have behind something like that (which may be premade?) provided I can get it quick enough. Would be cool to know what you used?

I'm wondering if nwa240 will see your post. It's been at least a couple of years since I recall seeing him here, in fact, it's been a while since I've seen you here.

I know right...been awol from a bunch of forums. Hopefully I'll be changing that here shortly at least this one
