I like the labeling on the gauges too. But since it wasnt in the original development plans, and these have been OK'd by Marshall, I'm sure this is how they're going look. I'm was also wondering about the mechanical boost gauge.

 

I will call Paul at Marshall on Monday for further information on price and gauge details. After I know what's really going to be available and at what cost, I will post a form to fill out. Thanks.

Steve

 

Steve, aren’t the dial faces for the vac/boost gauges the same regardless of whether they’re electric or mechanical? If so, can they produce both versions? I’m asking because I’d rather have the electric version.

 

There should be no difference. I have to ask Paul when they will have part numbers so they can be bought.

Hi All:

Thanks for your patience and interest in the Marshall MINI OEM Style gauges. We have started production and will be ready to ship initial orders early next week. Please PM Steve @ Custom MINI Shop with your order - he is organizing the group buy. Initially quantities may be limited as we ramp up production.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,
Paul
Marshall Instruments

 

Paul or Steve - Have final production prices, including senders, been determined yet?

Thanks for all of the work on this. Can't wait to get them installed.

Cheers,
Tom

 

Yes, prices for the different gauges and senders would be very nice to know before placing an order.

 

Are our orders still good?
Are you going to send this form to the membership that has been waiting months for this to happen?
Thanks for any pricing info on my order.

 

I saw Steve last night, and will let him know today that there are questions here. Just a few more days guys

 

OK, the prices for the group buy are:

Vac/Boost, 30" Hg - 30 PSI (mechanical) $47.50

Oil pressure, 0-100 PSI (electric) $59.50

Oil pressure, 0-100 PSI (stepper) $83.50

Water temperature, 100-260°F (electric) $53.50

Water temperature, 100-260°F (stepper) $77.50

Oil pressure and water temperature gauges include the sending unit with 1/8" NPT connection.

Stepper motor gauges have peak recall and warning functions.

I'm not sure yet if I can get a stepper version of the vac/boost gauge.

The CravenSpeed mounting and adapters are going to be a straight 10% off list price.

Shipping is $10 in the lower 48 states. Hawaii, Alaska and non-USA destinations will be determined individually.

I will post a list of choices and an e-mail address to send your billing and shipping information to, and you can call me, or I can call you for the payment info. I was unable to setup my new website in time so we'll have to do this manually. Thanks.

Steve

 

Steve,

Is there any change of getting the SCX gauges included in this group buy? The OEM gauges designed by the OP looked great when I first saw them. But now I find the final product kind of generic (no offense to Marshall Instruments) But if you look at it, the new gauges (boost) are made for mini's with the tach on the steering column. I have the chrono/dual gauges (speedo and tach) and I've noticed the needles on the tach are shorter. Plus I like the stepper/electric version. My only question is where does the signal wire hook up to?

 

Here's what I'm talking about. The picture above, the tach has longer needles (the lines above the 1,2,3 rpm etc) As where mine below has shorter needles.

 

It shouldn't be a problem to get the standard SCX gauges in the group buy. The only problem is that they show an electric version and not a stepper version of the vac/boost gauge. I know there is a possibility of a limited number of them but I don't know the availability. The electric version uses a map sensor to convert the vac/boost to an electrical signal to run the gauge.

Steve

 

Sorry for the dumb questions....What's the dif between the stepper and electric versions?
Do they come with install instructions (or if anyone can find a good, quick link for boost and water temp install it would be [FONT='Times New Roman']appreciated )[/FONT]

 

not dumb for me anyway, cause you read my mind.

+1 on all of your Q's

The CravenSpeed mounting and adapters are going to be 10% off list price for this group buy. If you have any other CravenSpeed requests, I will offer 10% off those items during this group buy. Anyone with existing CravenSpeed mounts should be aware that the new mounts are powder coated instead of anodized so they won't match perfectly. I still have a few anodized pieces in stock so let me know.

Gauge Cup (52mm) gen1 and gen2 $49.00
Gauge Cup (dual 52mm) gen1 and gen2 $71.00
Bracket X (gen1) tach mount for cups $30.00
Bracket ZL (gen1) cup mount for chrono/nav $40.00
Bracket ZR (gen1) cup mount for chrono/nav $40.00
Bracket A (gen2) cup mount $45.00
Bracket R (gen2) single cup mount $40.00
Cup Caps (52mm) caps for back of cups $26.00

Please e-mail your billing and shipping addresses to gaugegb@blackoaks.com. Be sure to include your phone number and the gauges and mountings you want to buy. I will e-mail you an invoice for you to OK and then you can call me or vice-versa for the CC info. Some have e-mailed me the CC info which is OK if you are comfortable with that. I do not bill until I ship. I have not received the gauges yet so I expect to start shipping next week. You can call me if you have questions at 559.320.0004 Thanks.

Stepper motor movement is the best movement available. It is very responsive, accurate and rugged.

The sweep of the gauge is divided into a large number of "steps". A micro-controller (computer) precisely controls the position of the pointer by telling it which "step" to go to.

A non stepper motor movement typically uses some sort of magnet to move the pointer to its required position. These movements are still very good, just not as rugged as the stepper motor movement.

 

That's what I needed.
Now to figure out how to install them, then I think I will get the boost and water temp (stepper).
HE RUNS OFF TO DO SOME SEARCHING......

 

Any idea how long this group buy will be going on for?

 

The end of September or when I run out of my original order from Marshall.

Steve

 

As promised here is a picture of the new gauges installed.



Here is a higher resolution image as well.

BTW - the face color is almost an exact match to the OEM gauges.

We trust that the chrome bezels are a subsequent add-on (for those of us expecting silver).

Looks sweet!

Yes, the chrome bezels are an add-on.
