I recently purchased the Lotek gauge pillar and I was getting ready here to order some gauges but I had some questions. The guages I want to get are Autometer but they run about 50 dollars a piece everywhere I have looked but the local Advance autoparts store has some that are about 20 dollars a piece. Does it really make a difference brand or no? Also the ones from advance limit me to oil pressure, water temp, and ammeter. Which I want oil pressure for sure, possibly ammeter but not sure I really need the water temp since I already have a temp gauge. But I really don't know what to use for the third one since I don't have anything I would need a boost gauge for. I really only wanted to add an oil pressure gauge for the most part but I wanted the "look" of the gauge pillar. Also the gauges from auto meter at 2 1/16 I believe and I have a 2" gauge which is the same as the ones from advance that I was going to put in the Mystique I have but never got around to it because I haven't been able to have my father help me since his accident, but I tested it to see how it fitted in the gauge pillar and it fitted tight. Perfect if you ask me. So my concern is that the 2 1/16" ones will have trouble getting in there without shaving it a little. But if the off brands are as good as autometers then it wouldnt matter anyway because I could settle for not having the "name brand." My last question is does Ford racing make any white faced 2" gauges? Sorry for all the rambling! Thanks in advanced!
