Most excellent. These will work well in my racecar for temp warning lights. Where'd you get that digital display? I like it too, but want something larger and most likely Red. I'll probably end up with something from Autometer.

EDIT: Found the link in your other discussion thread. https://www.amazon.com/WonVon-Speedometer-Accessories-Instruments-Modification/dp/B07QB61XQW/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=yo_ii_img

Something like this (amazon link) would work in theory. Just needs power, it gets your speed via GPS (which will be more accurate than your 40 y/o speedometer).

The problem I think you're going to run in to, unless you have a curved window Super, is bugs have like an inch of dash ledge and a nearly perpendicular flat windshield. So no place to set it and a harder angle to shine it on.

These are digital, so assuming you have the right scan tool you can probably do it in 45 seconds.

Edit: I am wrong, you need this https://www.amazon.com/Hypertech-730119-Speedometer-Calibrator/dp/B00GUYCNMS even for the 2017 Tundras.

Tach not work?

If you want to go half-ass and cheap then program a bicycle computer, they can be had for $25. Might take some screwing around.

But you can pickup digital speedometers with magnetic pickup for motorcycles on the cheap.

And I see gps speedometers to. So common today even amazon carries them.


Late Edit: not gps but these two catch my eye. Can't say they're any good or not.

Mine just wants some LEDs for the dash since my current setup is going dark :-/

My 95’s fuel stopped working twenty years ago. After a new fuel pump/level sender replacement it came back for a week. With battery disconnected try to wiggle and gently reseat the connector above the fuel tank.

Odometer. Had this problem. My repair was to replace a gear in odometer. It is a bit of an advanced piece-parts pull. Radio/vent facia, remove two screws holding hood release in place, remove lower plastic knee bolster. loosen steel knee bolster plate , remove Drvr side upper IP facia with a gentle “up-out and to the left , and remove instrument cluster. There a some electrical connectors along the way that require gentle removal. Remove speedo/ODO from IP. Note needle position and spring back to zero past needle stop you can remove drive assembly. Then Small screws to remove gears and lube.

The ODO fix is typical ford fix and you can find instructional repair videos on YouTube.

You can splice new controls into the existing harness. I still have my original harness and I've done this with my front end.

I would have gone for the controls you posted if they weren't so expensive. Here are some of the parts I bought:

Mini Speedo from DCC

Left side controls

Brake, Clutch, and Master cylinder. You'll also need new hydraulic lines and banjo bolts.

Clipon Handlebars

Bar End Mirrors. I suggest these specific ones because the mirror is one solid piece that attaches to the ball joint. The ones that have screws have failed me in the past.

u/chunkukdo · 2 pointsr/cars

They have all sorts of OBD speedometers on Amazon. These work off the OBD port under the dash. You could also just get a Bluetooth OBD reader and run the Torque Pro app on your phone.

If you must have a GPS speedo, I have this one since the speedo gear in my transmission is shredded. Just make sure the buttons and screen work on it since I had to return the first one I received. You may find something better for cheaper though.

u/IronbarkTheOtter · 1 pointr/HondaCB

This is the gauge. I was only able to hook up the gas indicator and its backwards because the float switch is normally open instead of closed, so when it indicates a full tank its actually on empty hahaha
As far as the other dummy lights are concerned. I ordered these LEDs. I haven't hooked them up yet because I need to build a housing for them.

u/MrSurly · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

It could be an "air core" meter movement, newer gauges are little stepper motors

Edit: That looks very much like an air core movement.

I've seen a couple of Garmins over the years that seemed pretty cool. Etrex I think they're called. The high end you have the Trail Tech's. Those are really sweet. But for just a speedo function I've seen this thing. I've never owned one so I have no idea as to how it installs or how it'll hold up but its small and inexpensive and would mount real nice to the bars.

>That's the biggest frickin' gas gauge I've ever seen.


You haven't seen a Dodge Ram without a tach

u/shifty4321 · 1 pointr/motorcycles

Thanks for the reply!

So this is what I'm looking at getting:

Speedo/Tach

The company (Autometer) says that I'd need to get their GPS speedo but I think I'll also need to get their Tach Adapter as well.

I'm sure I can figure out the turn signals etc etc. I'm just concerned about 1) The price (ouch) and 2) the actual conversion

u/similar_observation · 1 pointr/funny

Yep. Here's one on Amazon.

But usually you stick a polarized screen thing to the windshield so you can see it better.
