New INSTRUMENTS

Hi, I want to upgrade my 1993 defender v8 instruments, I am looking into converting the speedometer to td5 but want to know if I can buy any different dials, are there any companies that make aftermarket parts?

thanks

I fitted Durite gauges throughout (apart from the speedo). Look good, accurate and so far very reliable (fitted 2013).
Fitted fuel, temp, volts, oil-pressure (mechanical) and clock.

You could use td5 guages and then get ally surrounds to make them look more modern. I'm gana use the black surround on carbon fibre back then use ally if don't like the look

I am looking at buying one of these dashes because mine is battered. Any other suggestions of other dashes I can buy

Thanks I am looking for a full dash, this is the one in the photo, does raptor sell a full dash ?

alexc2701 · Aug 28, 2017

I thought they did but apparently not, you could get an old one and use the raptor parts to replace anything that is worse for wear though? As long as the top section is okay

I'm happy with my instruments, but would quite like a round clock to fill the blank on my '94 Defender.
They seem far too expensive for me though, plus I'll probably ****-up fitting it.

Oh. Also didn't realise the forum removed the blue language automatically.
