Im lookin to buy a VT, VX SS and want the the little bonnet gauges because I thinK they look kewl. Anyways I was in Repco the other day askin about them and the guy told me that they are not actually gauges and that they are all for show... Is that true or did he not know what he was talkin about. I only want them for look, But im sure I have seen functioning bonnet gauges. So are they just for Riceing? CRoNiC..... -------------------- Bro's B4 Hoe's

Where do you think the idea came from in the first place? I'm guessing that someone was fitting some aftermarket gauges in his car but didn't know where to put them. Then he noticed that there was a nice flat spot in the driver's field of view on the bonnet. Easier than mounting them on the dash and mucking around feeding cables through the firewall. |

Exactly right. Thats why i have my fuel and oil pressure gauges on the cowl - they are mechanical gauges and no fluid lines are allowed in the cockpit of the car. |

my 72 capri has oil pressure stock in the dash amd it is a mechanical gauge so if i get pulled ova and the cop see that the stock gauge is a mechanical gauge he can defect me for having a mechanical gauge in the cockpit???????? |

Thanks for the correction. I'd heard that somewhere but I didn't really think about it when I wrote the post. Does anyone know if mechanical temperature gauges are legal? |
