Tom Kirkham and Kirkham Engineering have created a very intuitive line of gauges that have the look and feel of the period correct gauges, but have new modern electronics and features that you want, to protect that investment under the hood.

Ready to install, these 3-3/8” and 5” diameter instruments are said to have an accuracy of plus or minus 1 percent with virtually no pointer vibration. The ultra responsive micro processor controlled stepper–motor gauge movement, with 270 degree sweep, provides pinpoint accuracy and stable readings in the harshest of vibration conditions.

No gauge is going to be accurate if the sensor it is using is garbage. Garbage in = Garbage out. Many gauges out there are using junk sensors as a cost savings measure to thier overseas operations. Less expensive or cheaper electric gauges that often have a 90 degree sweep, are using these inferior sensors and not transducers.

Kirkham Engineering's gauges utilize very high quality transducers, having no moving parts, (this is where other sensors fail) and are are highly accurate and repeatable. New Technology in the use of these transducers in conjunction with advanced circuit board controls in each gauge have greatly improved the responsiveness and accuracy of electric gauges vs. mechanical gauges.

The Kirkham Engineeering Gauges are also compact in design and the tough molded poly carbonate case is only 1.1”deep allowing the gauge to be mounted in the tightest locations. The gauges mount to your dash through a locking spin ring. Say goodbye to the old ritual of tightening nuts that have backed off their posts. Other gauges are often 5-6 times the thickness behind the dash.

The electronic reverse speedometer also features a discrete LCD display for those seeking to maintain a vintage look. The LCD display for speed, trip miles (and fuel level) and is fully programmable for easy calibration with any tire size and axle ratio. All of the gauges have easy to see numbers and lighted pointers (Red or Violet) that are visually stunning.

Trimmed with traditional vintage style bezels, these gauges are available in sets or individually and are made in the USA. They are backed with a lifetime warranty on the Gauges CPU and a five year warranty on all other moving parts.

If you have any questions you can call me, Rick Lee at (801) 678-8222

No more thumping at your gauge trying to get it to work or yet even worse, having your very expensive engine to depend on gauges now made in China that just aren’t accurate.
