Gage Question: Back Lit? Voltmeter?

working on a CJ2A :

want back lit gauges

want a voltmeter

anybody got any suggestions?

 

Autometer. Lots of choices, look good and work well. I have this brand installed in my flatfender and am pleased with them.

 

X2 autometer is pretty close in appearance with orange needle, black background. I have there tach, oil pressure, and engine temp.

 

what did you guys do for spedometers? looks like autometer holes arent the same size.

 

Currently I have a conversation table from tach rpm to mph for speed... something is off inside my t-case.
In 3rd direct for my setup per the local radar trailer.
1k 17.5 mph
2k 35
3k 52.5
4k 70
5k... don't do 5k... but... 87.5 mph

Typically I have speed on the phone's navigation if it's out of town.
on the cj2apage one member used a gps speedometer seemed like it was for a boat

 

Autometer sells a speedometer that is 3 3/8" diameter which I believe is correct.
VDO also sells good products. My speedometer is a VDO unit and works well.

 

Stewart Warner Deluxe if your patient you can even find a 80 MPH Speedo on eBay that is the exact fit for the hole in the dash. Like this Back lit lighting any color you want with bulb condoms (autometer sells them) I went with the new school Intellisensor Fuel Level Sensor that works with the 240-33.5ohms 6" deep tank much improved over the float and swing arm thing.

 

so you made the stock CJ gauges back lit? is that what Im hearing? how did you do that? or all of them the SW deluxe?

 

I too used SW gauges. These are "modern" gauges with back lighting.

Deluxe™ - Stewart Warner

I bought most of mine through Summit.

 

All gauges in my dash are SW Deluxe about half bought as NOS off ebay over a half dozen years Knowing that I would want them.

I should add all of my gauges are not however SW. the 0-6000rpm Vintage Tach is a DIXCO and the 2 5/8" Vacuum Gauge is from Autogage It was the only one I could find that came close to matching the SW.
