Anyone else recall seeing a 930 vid posted here years ago showing a fully functional, analog combo afr and boost gauge? It was hypnotizing!

986/996  987  This is the same story as me trying to retro-fit a dipstick. It just isn't going to happen in my car.

The trend in avionics is digital. But I’ll just keep my old round gauges for now. With a little help from the iPad.

If you look at dash / gauge / steering wheel designs mid 50's to early 60's from all 3 Detroit manufacturers like what is pictured in the first part of this thread. Art deco meets jet aircraft at its finest. Simply beautiful.

Aftermarket gauges are round because for the average home mechanic customizing his car, its easier to drill (hole saw) a round hole than to cut a rectangular hole.

Who needs aftermarket gauges anymore? Get a OBD port blue tooth and download an app to your phone, cradle your phone launch app, and display any gauge or gauges you want.

On the Airbus, I think the only round gauge left now is the brake pressure.
