magnolia boost gauge manufacturer?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi i am coming to a point where i just need to round up the last few parts in my turbo rebuild. im using magnolia dials, but cant seem to find a 'classic' look boost gauge in magnolia.

does anyone know if anyone makes such a thing? somthing in the smiths classic style would be nice!

Had exactly this problem in the van.

I dont think you'll find a cream/magnolia one mate, white is the best I could find.

Even designed and printed my own cream dial face in the style of a Smith's / Caerbont gauge and took a Tim boost gauge apart.

Made the change by removing the Tim bezel and replaced it with a chrome Smiths one. The finished thing looked ok but was not my thing so gave up in the end !

If I find the original bmp file, I'll post it up for you. I think it was +/- 20 psi vac/boost.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

This is the gauge blank bmp file I made up to replicate Boost and Rev Counter dial faces using Tim gauges as the basis and replacing the dial and bezel to make a Tim look like a Smiths.

You might have to play around with the background colour as each printer is different.

Hope this helps, whatever you decide to do.
