Changing to Smiths guages, which ones to choose???

[PeterPan]

Hello everybody,

As some of you know I'm (finally) nearing completion of a superbike powered MicroCar which is now affectionately known as the 'LoonyPod'.

The car has a kind of retro look about it which I rather like and wish to continue the theme with the interior.

I want to change the original clocks (Citroen AX/Peugeot 106) and replace them with a more classic/retro look set up using Smiths guages.

Obviously speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge...
But I'll have room for one more guages and I'm not sure what I should prioritise and I'd like to hear others opinions.

I prefer the look of 'prism' guages out of the whole range and Smiths have said that they can make a specific tachometer which goes up to 11k (bike engines redline)

(A bit of a nod to Spinal Tap and rather apt I thought, given that this project is definitely "turned up to 11" )

Anyways, would love to hear/read thoughts/suggestions.

Oil temp is quite important, or boost if there is a turbo involved. Volt/Amps are useful for diagnosing faults.

+1 for oil temp, water temp is not a good picture of the engine temperature when the block is still cold.
