On behalf of the traditionalist here, I bought the Van's engine gauges a few months ago, to go along with the new steam VFR gauges going in my -6, I think they are the same as the Chief gauges, don't give up the fight, build the airplane you want.
If anyone is interested, I do have several Vans gages that I did not use in my build. New and unused in the box: tach, fuel pressure, ammeter, CHT, EGT, and a fuel primer.
I have two fuel level guages and a voltmeter with 10 hrs on them on the shelf. [email protected]

also, an MGL RV-1 tach and Gmeter if interested.
