? Which Digital MPH/Speed Display.

[Pugsey]

Very pleased indeed with the look of the trad. (white) dials that I spec'd for my new R400 BUT - even allowing for the fact that there's something wrong with the current instrument - I'm not finding the speedo particularly easy to read 'at a glance'. Think I've got too used to the nice clear digi. readouts on my last few cars. Can anyone suggest a neat digi. readout - preferably one that would sit on top of the 'dash' say next to the shift lights?

Cheers guys.

SPA used to do a pretty good one. Should be on their website.

You could use a bicycle computer - Sigma do a few that will display speeds suitable for cars.

suspect it's not quite what you're after, but have you considered / seen the Sard Stack dash?

there's a few variants, here's the two more common ones.





other than that I'd suggest a heads up display, but being a caterham it's not really feasible

[Pugsey]

Cheers guys. Some of the bike stuff looks worth investigating a bit more. I could have had the stack dash fitted by Caterham at build of course as it's an option but specifically wanted the traditional look of dials - they also mean I've got all my inportant temps/pressures etc permanently dislpayed whereas you need to bring them up on the Stack system.

Thinking about it don't things like Road Angel dislay speed - not sure how large and readable though.

I've got a Stack ST 500 tacho, which replaces the standard dial, but includes an accurate digital speedo (mph/kph), programmable change-up lights and various timing functions, eg 0-60 1/4 mile etc.
Easy to read and keeps the classic appearance.

The ST500 is neat and comes in white. Pricier than a bike computer though.

The 8100 Stack (second picture above, same family that Caterham fit) can be set up to show readings when they broach certain parameters. You also get to see a few of them on main LCD anyway. It really is a good bit of kit.

To late now but the "Stack" shown above was the way to go........

Had it on the Superlight and it was the nut's

AIM make some nice gear as well if you're looking for digital

[rubystone]

I really rate the ST500 - had one on my SLR. IIRC it's a straight replacment, fit-wise.

Agreed. Get an AIM MXL Pista and you can also begin to look at data logging. You get a lot for your money, and it has way more features and customisation options than the stack route.
