Where to get new Di-Pricol guages?
I know that Di-Pricol is making gauges that are back lit to match the guages in the 2003's. Anyone know of a good place to buy them? Also can't find a good mount that I want, have to keep the grab handle, a dual pod that fits under it would be nice.....

I don't have a timeline on the new pyro. Lighting on the currrent pyro, IMHO, is terrible.<br><br>Rod

Is this the Pyro that you are saying the lighting is no good on? Thats not good to here, it is either this or the X-Monitor I guess.

Re:Where to get new Di-Pricol guages?
That is where i got the picture 
<br><br>Only thing i don't get, is why the center of the two guages are not the same. To me that looks terrible, like they aren't even the same brand, what were they thinking?

Actually, the boost lighting is great for night driving. The pyro washes out badly so you can't see many of the numbers. The red numbers are especially poor. Keep in mind that everyone's vision differs, so you may be able to see the numbers just fine.
As for the different gauge faces, its mostly due to the fact that DiProcol doesn't manufacture their own gauges, at least as far as the pyro goes. The pyro is actually a Hewitt with a different face. The "keyhole" overlay is used to cover up the very large mechanism used to translate the pyrometer signal to the analog sweep.

I have the gauges in the pic. The lighting seems fine to me. I do wish the pyro was made the same as the FP and the TB gauge

I question some times if their sales staff knows what is going on. I called back in February and they told me that they had them and could ship one out that day, then I had to explain to them that they don't make them yet.

Re:Where to get new Di-Pricol guages?
I was wondering that myself. I did talk to both the sales people and the shop people and both said the forms were not in yet. I was inquiring about the one with fuel pressure and it could be that one has something different that isnt ready yet?

That could be that is has something to do with the fuel pressure part of it. I see they list in on their price page now, still trying to decide if it worth the extra money [undecided]

Re:Where to get new Di-Pricol guages?
Just spoke to them again. It seems they started witha relatively small run and sold it out. They will have more available in a day or two. I went ahead and got the fuel pressure one. Im going to be in the area Friday and pick it up. Spendy unit, not sure if Im doing the right thing or not.
