New Cobra Gauges for a Coyote powered car with a Motec M1.

We can set them up for an original Ford ECU or any of the GM LS, Holley or Haltec etc.

Illumination will be fully adjustable LED.

The gauges are based on an original set of 427 Cobra gauges from 1965.

I restored two sets from a USA collection of original Shelby cars last year.
