Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

Heck, I don't know. I just stole the pic from Interloper07's post for a starting point. Closest I've come to driving a Mercedes was driving a Freightliner with their MBE4000 motor. Gimme a Detroit or Cummins any day.

I'll start with I'm an Elgin hater. I want something more "normal", even if I have to pay for it.

That one looks good, right?





































Here's the same display (blown up 2x for my caveman editing technique) crudely turned into an Elgin style display. So, are we just infatuated with the 99% of the dial we're not using? Food for thought.

Edited to show original display, hopefully.

To be fair to the Elgin, on a traditional needle style cluster, you're not "using" most of that space anyway. Instead, most of the numbers along the tach and speedo are sitting there doing nothing. Though yes, the angle of the needle can be used to estimate your speed in a traditional cluster, while the Elgin obviously doesn't benefit from that.

I drove my brother-in-law owned Edge the other day and it had that gascap on it. It worked fine.

CheeseheadEarl,

I'll probably regret asking this without cogitating on it for a bit, but what is "E" and "HOLD".

Thanks for that post. It takes care of the Hold but what is the E. The only one I know of is empty. :-) Z

Engage. Engage and hold.

E I believe is for when you're driving in ECO mode. There is also an S that will appear in the same spot for sport mode.

That's exactly what the E stands for in Elio......ECO.

My response is after viewing the clip. If there's a different coversation, I didn't read back far enough. LOL
