oil pressure and temp are the biggies so u dont screw anything up ( thats if your watching them )
u can get the dials everywhere like supercheap or ebay whateva
I got a friend that has some guages that change 7 different colours ( poxy, but if you dont decide what colour you like perhaps this is for you )
Happy Buying

Orange?...ok..

Can't say i've seen orange guages, only ones that have a white background an the light changes colour..

I think it would be hard to pull off...

Could always get some guages with white backgrounds, and apply a thin film of something that is orange and fairly transparent to the glass/plastic face.

Minimalist look would be cool.

Steering column mounted tach, dash mounted oil pressure, water temp & volts.

After discussions with my other half (so hard to explain ideas to her sometimes) am going to do tacho, speedo, and temp/fuel gauge! She still wants orange need day off to show her it's a bit difficult to get those gauges! She hates parts shopping!!!
