VHX-1017: Universal 5.7" X 12.05" Elliptical, Analog Instrument

The new Universal VHX-1017 Elliptical gauge cluster measures 12.05" W x 5.7" H

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
This design does not appeal to me but I can see where it might make anti-Elgin dash people happy. :-) Z

This is even harder to read than some of the stuff I have seen - including my vcr. Contrast, contrast, contrast! without it, things are hard to read. :-) Z

something like that would be fine with me .... that dash list for $802 on Amazon .... I wonder what the difference would be to substitute something like that for an Elgin

Jim


The Dakota Dashes we've profiled are, indeed $802 on Amazon.
That's 'retail' so we can figure Elio could cut a supplier deal & offer
a 'swap' (preferably) for the Elgin &/or some 'option' charge.............:)

hopefully they will find a supplier that can give alternate dash choices .... unfortunately, they are so committed to the Elgin, I question if they have much, if any, interest in doing so
