Some features about our GT40 Gauges: they are all electronic, stepper motor driven, microprocessor controlled, that are accurate within 2%,( which makes a difference at critical upper thresholds)and feature 270 sweep movement ( much easier to read than 90 degree sweep)
With the 90 Sweep there’s so little indicator movement between increments on the face you have to really squint to see if the indicated water temp is actually 160 or 200, or if the oil pressure really did drop 20 lbs on that last corner! Not a good situation for a really high performance automobile
From our Website Review of our Gauges from Pete Brock:
" I’ve always favored these older style “270” SW mechanical gauges, as that’s what was used in the six original Daytona coupes, but lately technology has surpassed these old reliables. Tom Kirkham of Kirkham Automobiles, the finest builder of alloy bodied replica Cobras* on earth, recently showed me what they are now using in their roadsters. I was really impressed as these new instruments had everything I’d previously admired in the old SW mechanicals, but found these new units were electric and of the finest accuracy and quality. The transducer (as opposed to a less accurate resistive type sender) in the pressure gauges for oil and fuel, for example, are within 2%! (even the best I’d seen previously were about 6% accurate) and with instant reading these new gauges easily surpass the performance of the old style mechanical ones I’ve long been using.
"The new faces still retain the neat white lettering on a black background we’re so familiar with on the SW type but somehow these are much cleaner and nicer. In addition to the improved accuracy these new units are lighter and require about half as much space behind the panel. (If you’ve looked back there to fix your wiper motor rod you know what I’m talking about…shudder.) BRE evaluated these instruments, selected the best combination for the Coupe and created a BRE Instrumentation Package especially for Coupes."
Our GT40 gauges..... are illuminated though the face thus eliminating back-scatter light. This type of lighting provides crisp striking resolution and contrast at night.I realize that many of you may OE gauges already but if you wish to upgrade we offer a life-time warranty on our gauges, the longest in the industry. In addition we can configure your gauges with Peak Recall for every gauge if you prefer, just call us.
Again, from Tom Kirkham and I, we are excited about being here and supporting your online community.
