Guage Replacement

[jitts3]

One of the many things my 73 needs is all new guages. Most of them are fogged over and cannot be used. I'm sure II'm not the only one to update the guages. What have others used. I'm gonna keep things fairly simple and not go digital. Just go with the old school sending units and such. Are their Marine application guages or can I use stuff from the likes of Autometer. I like the look of "racing guages" and since I am doing them all I would like them to match.
Just putting this out there and seeing what the opinions are. It would be nice to start getting some of the stuff I will need as I wait for milder weather.

Autometer has a marine line but I don't have much history with them. The biggest names are Teleflex and Faria - go to each of their respective websites, see what floats your boat :smt001 and then copy the model number down and check with either a local marine store or google. Just be careful who you buy from off the 'net - don't go only on price - if there's a problem you want to make sure you have someone to help you (which is why buying locally is nice, in addition to supporting your local economy). From my experience, local guys are usually within a few bucks of online prices, anyways. Close enough as makes no difference - especially considering the personal attention.

I used Faria gauges when I re-built the instrument panel. Here's a link to some pictures of the upgrade.
