Its a few years since my last kit build and there are quite a lot of new products about that i have never seen like the digital speedo ,digital temp gauges and the like. I do rather like the idea but how do they fair up after a good drowning which at some point they will get?

I was more thinking along the lines of a coventional dash but using something like these

But had visions of moisture getting in them and being fobared

Hi Bob....I have been considering one of these off a mio scooter then fill the rest of the dash with plasmas or digi in blue or red to match the car

I have got an Acewell in mine, with the surround that houses all the necessary warning lights. 100% water proof as designed originally for bikes.

What a great bit of kit, Its got every thing on it. What shall i do with the rest of the dash? Maybe a dart board or a toast rack or something!
