you say you got one who did you get the Gauge from? was it a Kit?
I did chat to a guy called Neil nice chap but he lost me when he was telling me about how it works but they had problems about getting the right Mod unit to link to the Meter???
but he did say if they get people asking or trying to order one they may start to make them again?
so get on the phone people it was Caerbont Automotie
but if any one knows what unit he may be on about then please let him know and me because i so want one or two

That picture is the Caerbont gauge. It needs to run off a wide band lambda, fitted in the middle of the Y piece specially for the purpose. You need to get a hole cut and a boss welded in. Your existing lambdas stay where they are, controlling the mixture.
I got my AFR gauge when I added a turbo to my car.
I did ask Eann Whalley, the turbo installer, about having a nice matching gauge in my dash.
He said no, because the one he uses also contains extra electronics that controls the turbo itself. So I have a black faced gauge with a bright red flashing digital read out that would look hideous in your dash. It does in mine. I could hide it inside the dash, but with a turbo fitted it is rather crucial that you know what is going on with your air fuel mixture, and I cannot have two gauges running off the same wide band lambda, it seems.
My plan this spring is to refurbish my already split walnut dash in black carbon fibre (personal taste, but I saw a Griff SE with one, straight from the factory, and really liked it), add a Caerbont oil temp gauge into an extra hole between the 4 small dials and the two main dials, and fit the AFR gauge in a new hole way over on the right corner of the dash, out of sight of the passenger, but where I can see it inside the steering wheel. The oil temp gauge is also essential with the turbo on track days - excess heat is the enemy..
