Help finding metric gauge options

Hi guys,

As the title says I'm looking for metric gauges for my car. Ideally I'd like oil pressure first, then probably add boost and another later, so I'd like them to all be from the same brand for a uniform look. And finally, I'd prefer 60mm gauges over 52mm, as I've got an awesome looking dash triple gauge mount that I'd like to use.

Problem is I that I haven't found more than one option in 60mm metric (Defi), while Prosport does 52mm metric. I won't rule either option out, but I hope that there might be other options to choose from.

I don't know if it's standard practice or not, so the gauges/sensors must have a 0-5V analogue output as I also intend to wire them through the ECU to log them in Evoscan too, like I've done with my LC-1 and 3-bar MAP sensor. This requirement probably rules out any mechanical gauges.

I've searched high and low for metric options!

Cheers

Defi is about it I think for metric. Not to mention how well known they are.

You can always use some intercooler hose as a spacer to run 52mm in a 60mm hole.

Alright thanks guys. No wonder they were all that I could find!

I think it's strange that companies don't have more metric offerings. Surely the only difference between US and metric gauges is a label. Anyway, looks like I might slowly start building up a Defi collection.

Look into Greddy. I love mine and think they are some of best looking gauges. Pressure is measured in kg/cm.
