Cool post, thx

 

Gauges Marshall Gauges When paired with the A frame from Craven Speed it puts them in just the right location and they look OEM.

 

I'll join in. Boost Gauge please with Chrome Ring and Craven Mount for a single gauge. TIA Michael

 

Mechanical or electric, R53 or R56? Thanks.


Steve

 

Sorry mechanical boost r53

 

No problem.

Steve

 

I am interested as well. I have Boost gauge and Lateral-G, but plan on replacing it with Temp.

 

Got it.

Steve

 

Jinxed myself there, installed a 'reconditioned' oil pump yesterday with a stuck pressure relief valve, the oil filter ballooned out before the seal popped dumping 4qts on the ground. I would have LOVED an oil pressure gauge during that test run-in. Still extremely rare.

 

awww what a mess, that really sucks man....

 

Given that my SW boost gauge just stopped working yesterday, I am a little more anxious today.

SRTech, get Marshall to stop stalling and at least deliver some final pricing per gauge such that we can make final selections. You will not have an accurate tally until we know how much they cost. Final pricing will ultimately determine participation.

 

+1

I'd love to have a set of these gauges (R53 boost and oil pressure - w/ chrome), but I'm waiting on pricing to see if I can fit them into my budget...

 

They are still waiting on the face supplier. I will call again today for an eta. Ballpark for the mechanical vac/boost should be around $55 unless what they've said to me changes. The mounting and adapters will probably cost more than the gauges.

Steve

 

Holy Crap, how long does it take? Does the face supplier need to borrow my old K7 laptop or something to finish the job. Do they use computers at all? The changes we are talking about for the 'MINI look' gauges should take a few minutes, not a few months. We are not talkin' rocket surgery here.

Thanks for the ballpark on the $$.

 

Welcome to the world of manufacturing. Getting anyone to do anything at all the first time, and then correctly, and then not changing something, is the problem. Follow-up over and over is the order of the day.

Steve

 

Unfortunately, I am well aware of your predicament and limited voice with the face guy. And make sure they know that just cause we want it done, does not mean we want it done at any price.

Please keep pushing for us...................thanks.

 

We like to do whatever we can to improve on any parts. Where is a more preferable spot for the mounting point, on either one of those brackets?

 

interested in mechanical boost & water temp w/black ring for a R53, dependent on final price....

 

I'll let you know after I get around to mounting my adapter. At this point, I'm not in any hurry to do that because the gauges are not yet forthcoming from Marshall.

I have an engineering drawing with tentative dimensions. It looks like the legs of the "A" on the double sided bracket need to be bent downward some, and that might also require lengthening the legs a little. The idea is to mount the double gauge cup (at least the one on the right side) so that there is minimal vignetting of the A/C vent by the gauges and both gauges are easily visible within the steering wheel rim.

Update from Marshall. They are still waiting for the dial proofs. After they sign off on them they will go into production. Sorry for the delay.

Steve

 

My laptop is still available if they face guy is having trouble with fonts.

Undoubtedly, the issue with the face guy is one of priority, if this job with customer Marshall was a high enough priority it would be done by now. All we can do is wait, and I hate doing that.

Thanks for the update, but please provide good news next time.

 

Wow, I've been looking for a boost gauge that matches the MINI with a chrome ring off-and-on for ages now. PM sent!

 

Look for my PM. Add me to queue

 

It's amazing in this economy that people aren't jumping all over new business. I guess some companies are doing too well to worry about customer service.

Next time you talk to Marshalls can you check into needle replacement?

Thanks
