Check out MoonEyes for something understated and chrome.

Go to Gauge Guys to get an idea. They have a variety to choose from.

Restoring a 61 Healey 3000 for vintage racing and went with new Cobra Gauges. But as you can see you have a choice. I wanted to stay somewhat in the period.

My friend went with all Autometer. They look good also.

Thanks Doug!!

For the Smiths gauges...

Temperature:
"C" is about 90oF, "N" is about 185oF, and "H" starts at about 212oF

Oil:
a Bar is about 14.5 PSI so you want a gauge with a range from about 0 to 6.5 or 7 Bar.

Volts:
When you select a new Volt gauge it is not likely to be available in anything but one range... you won't have choices.  Most will have a scale graduated from about 10V up to 16.5 or 17V.

When you make this conversion, buy the matching sending units for the gauges.  Do not expect your new gauges to work with the Smiths sending units.  The one possible exception would be the fuel gauge.  If your Mini is a 1965 or later, you MAY get suitable results if you choose a gauge that is calibrated for the range of 240 Ohms = Empty to 33 Ohms = Full.  It's not an exact match to the Mini sending unit but it is close enough for most purposes.

i run Autometer gauges in my mini

Since owning my mini, I've been thinking of various modifications/additions I would like to make to the vehicle... and one would be to change my dash (eventually) to wood, and further... that accepts 3 gauges (Oil pressure, Volt, Oil Temp)

After searching on the forum, I couldn't find very much on the correct units of measurement. Example: FOr oil pressure, what should the min/max bar pressure be? What should be the correct min/max temperature units be for oil temp? What would a proper volt meter be?

Are there alternatives to the average vdo gauges?

Cheers,
