Default summit gauges???

has anyone here had any experience with these??? i saw them in the catalog, and they look pretty sweet and the price isn't bad. i was looking at the electric analog oil pressure and water temperature ones.

I had a summit tach that was a quality piece... But... It wasn't on a $10,000 motor either. I'm sure their mechanical gauges are great. Nothing to really go wrong in one.

All of the Summit private label stuff iI've used over the years has all good stuff.......
I just don't like electrical gauges, I want to know what the oil pressure is at that moment, not later........

I have two summit 2-1/16inch gauges I installed about a month ago and they both work fine. Both are electric, (oil pressure and water temp), they have like 4 backlite colors to choose from. Like most summit brand products, I'm sure the gauges are made by a quality company and re-labeled for summit.

they should be alright, autometer is the best.
i bought a sunpro mech. oil press. one from autozone, hope it holds up and reads correct.

although sunpro needs some higher output bulbs or something. maybe led bulbs. the amber color is kool and all....kind of dim though.
