Wanted - GTi/16v Dash binnacle/gauges

[TizzyD]

Hi all

Im after a 8v GTi/16v set of gauges to fit to my TZD Turbo to give it the dash Citroen should have given it.
I don't need the speedo or rev counter as I'll be keeping the ones currently fitted to the car. I'm only after the left hand side (oil pressure / fuel gauge) and right hand side (oil temp / coolant temp)

Not in any real rush TBH as the cars going to be off the road until October time next year (and it needs work doing to it IE - cam belt, but I'll be looking to do the modifications then while the engines out)

Hope everyones keeping well
Andrew

I bought two sets recently from Leboncoin in France to do the same for my two TZDs - might be worth keeping an eye out on there. I'm happy to act as intemediary if necessary.
Alternatively I've got a spare set of 205 GTi clocks - it's possible to use the side gauge pods from those in a BX, but I think the colour of the backlights might be different.

Cheers for volunteering I have been keeping an eye on Leboncoin but few and far between would be the best description of the luck I've had - I have also looked at the 205 GTi clock but it would bug me if they didn't match across the board

That's the conclusion I came to as well!

You can likely vastly reduce the effect of any mismatch by fitting coloured LED's (Green?) in place of the filament bulbs.

Worth a try! I've got enough GTi gauges now to do both my cars though, so if anyone wants some 205 clocks, let me know...

Although they are made by the same company the dash fonts are slightly different too





But Green LEDs should correct the colour filter issue as I found out when I ordered Blue LEDs instead of White by mistake -
