    Yeah. Airbags in the dash. I used to think that was pretty much a USA-only thing, but a few customers have opened my eyes. The airbag dash was present in MOST European countries. If you ordered a new MX-5 in 94-97, you got an airbag dash in Europe. But there's also a lot of JDM Eunos imports, so chances of a car having a flat dash are pretty even.

    There's a lot more flat, non-airbag dashboards in the world than there are NA8 airbag dashes. I know this from hazard switch sales. The NA6 model outsells the NA8 10 to 1. I was as surprised as anyone about this. I've never personally owned an NA6.

    So, modifying the gauge cups to be as symmetrical as possible and work on both LHD and RHD Miata seemed the logical thing to do. It leaves airbag dashboard cars out in the cold, but it works for the great majority of NA Miatas in existence. That means sales for me. Sales mean more funds for new products.

    But don't worry, NA8 folks. I've got something planned for the future.

    Absolutely! But I honestly don't know how close Russell's cups are/were to the KG cups. I've never had the KG ones in hand. Mine are based on a different mold.

    Like a 5 year bump on this thread! I thought I'd bump it instead of making a new one to show that the gauge cups were back in stock after a few months of being sold out.

    Gauge Cups are back in stock!!!

    I want to have enough engine parameters to monitor to justify these. Wonder if anyone has come up with some other clever uses for them.

    Water pressure, voltage, oil temp.

    Water pressure will tell you if you have a leak, voltage will tell if your leak is a lost belt and if your charging system/battery are operational, oil temp will tell you if your car is running too hot. All three are pretty vital.
