Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Found here -> http://brotherstrucks.reachlocal.net...number=DIGD500
Curious if anyone has installed one of these. I already plan on replacing my gauges, this would make it easier and cooler, imo. Thanks.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Dakota Digital makes it. I have seen a couple of people on here with them. They look nice.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
For that price I would check Jegs, Summit, or even just look on Ebay. I have seen them for about $100 less on Ebay.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
If it were me, I would wait for the new VHX series to hit the market. They are a LOT more legible than those old ones.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Those look ok, but I like the pure digital read-out. I wonder if I could custom order the other with red LED's?

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
I believe the digital ones are a Vacuum Florescent Display, which I don't think are ever made in red. It's more than just some leds causing the lighting.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Being from a sunny part of the world, I prefer analog over digital gauges because the sun washes out the display and makes a digital gauge difficult to read. My Alpine radio digital display often cannot be read in the daylight unless I shift my head way over to the right. It reminds me of trying to read a cell phone display in the sunlight. You would think somebody would have found a fix for this by now.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Ouch! $895 for the kit! Sheesh, I may stick to the older gauges. For that price, I can get the gauge cluster, shift kit, and dimming knob for about the same cost.

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
Anyone know if Dakota Digital's fuel sender will work with our gas tanks? http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd112.htm

Re: Brother digital Gauge Cluster Kit
I have a VHX kit for the 73-87's on Pre Order. They should be available in the next 2-3 weeks and the 67-72 will follow at about 2 weeks behind.
Once I get them, I will have a post here and on my forum of their availability. I also have the digital kits cheaper and yes, I can get them in any color you want including red, but they are non-returnable and cost $90 extra.
