Building the perfect SLR dash - Digital SpeedHut gauges for a Holden Torana
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- In this video I run through the features of the SpeedHut gauges for old cars and show how I integrate them into an LH/LX Torana dash, mimicking the look of the desirable "SLR" Sport Dash, but with modern back-lit gauges that are accurate, reliable, and full of features (trip meter, settable warning lights, tach input options) that old gauges don't provide.
If you're interested in one of these, e-mail me at hezath@gmail.com. Prices ($AUD) for the conversion kit are $350 or a fully built cluster is a bit over $3,000.

Nice work mate! Great video, looks like a top product 👍
Awesome informative video Heath, love how much content and honesty you give back to the community.
Thanks, and yes please keep producing content for us 👍
Great info fantastic work mate
Awesome work, think I’ll be sending mine over for an upgrade
Great job as always Heath. I miss reading your posts on Aussie V8 forum now it’s closed down.
Keep up the great videos 👍
Great Video, very informative.
Fantastic content Heath deadset credit to you mate well done..
How neat is that set up mate wow,
I should've gone speedhut guages instead of Autometer they are so neat Heath!!
Killa vid mate 👌🏻👌🏻
Great overview - Thank you will give you a call.
Good work bro. Ex trany lad here. S pac. 😢. Just thinking that missing clock would have saved 10 bucks a car. Pretty smart engineering from gmh
lol! I don't know if the clocks would have even cost $10, but I guess we're overlooking the value of the blanking panel in the S model dash. It may have been quite exciting for some young drivers to operate a vehicle with a cross-hair looking thing on the dash... an adrenaline-rich experience for someone who grew up prior to the invention of military video games.
Excellent video. I want to put in 3 Smiths gauges in where the ashtray used to sit. I have the gauges, but w/o the wiring looms. We need to do a little cutting, but can’t find anyone to do the job. The search goes on.
Certainly making things hard for yourself there! Haha. I know one guy who put three gauges in the centre of his dash but he made the centre section of the fascia out of billet aluminium to get the job done. A bit beyond your average craftsman! But basically anything can be done if you care about it enough.

@@Hezath exactly that! I’ll take this photo to the next company. Just like this!
Good on ya !
Awesome
Hi Heath. Your a Legend Mate for all your research, development and now sharing of these awesome parts. Such a great informative video too! You sell the speedo with SL/R logo if req heh? Look forward to ordering from you next year. Cheers
Ah thanks so much for the kind words mate. Yeah I've done quite a few with the SL/R logo although I haven't got any gauges on the shelf with that logo currently. Get in touch when you're ready and we'll sort you out. :)
Will do mate, thank you
G'day mate, have you tackled a Kingswood or GTS version of this?
Hi Heath....I have an LX four door currently in for paint. I'm now thinking about the interior and love what you've done. There is plenty for tartan around but all large squares, unlike yours which I really like. Where our will do you get the tartan from...? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey mate, I'm afraid to say that mine is original GM-H Fashion Pack... New Old Stock from many decades ago, so I wouldn't hold my breath re: finding any. But I would recommend looking at what SMS Auto Fabrics in America offer. Their website is poor but they do have an impressive range.

HI Heath im glad i came across dash build, have a couple of uc torana projects and the dash upgrade is great, i have watched the video so im confident i can do it myself .can you send me a price two conversion kits, great work mate 👍
Glad to hear you liked it! Great stuff. Send me an email (written in description) and I can sort you out with some conversion kits. :)
Gday Heath love ya work mate👍 can I send you my HZ cluster to ya if you’re keen for a change from the legendary Toranas
Haha I have had a few people ask about full sized Holdens. Haven't had a minute to look into them yet I'm afraid.
Have you ever completed some lc lj s model dash upgrades?
Hi Jason, I haven't done any other models of cars. But an LC/LJ already has round holes which makes the job far more simple than this model which is obviously tricky.
Do you remake SLR gauges for sale as I have a LH but would like SLR gauges
Only these digital clusters that look (pretty much) like SLR gauges. If you want some front-lit gauges that perform like they're 50 years old, you can buy a $2k used SLR cluster and get it fixed up. It'll be a similar price to one of these dashes but without the nice features and accuracy, haha!
How do I get 1 of these?do you sell.cheers davo
Hi mate can ask to you what for diameter size speedometer you use and what the brand for this can tell me please chresss dede 🙏
It's all covered in the video mate. Brand: SpeedHut, Model: R4-S2, Nominal diameter: 4"
@@Hezath big thanks for you'r information anyway that is same model' number 3 of gauge

Hi Heath, great dash cluster build, do you have contact details as I would love to purchase a dash cluster for my SS
G'day Richard, thanks for your e-mail over the weekend mate and nice having a chat today. I'll get your cluster happening shortly!
Hi heath can I order the adapters from you also what would be the cost thankyou robert
Hey Robert, the adaptor kit itself is $350 + postage mate, shoot me an email (details in description) and I'll sort you out. :)
Hey bro, do you build these for people to buy? If so how much?
G'day Stephen, yes I can do for about $3k, or people can save some money by putting it together themselves. Send me an e-mail if interested (details in the video description).
Hi Heath how much is a kit and how do i order one
Hey Mick, check out the video description as it gives a bit of a price guide and my e-mail address.
Hi mate how do I contact you regarding my instrument cluster
Sorry for the slow reply... just send me an e-mail if you haven't already. Details in video description.
hi mate, do you have custer for sale..? thanks
Hey buddy, yeah I don't have much in stock currently (been struggling to keep up) but can organise something for you.
@@Hezath i have send you a email aswell. canyou supply the kit. i can assemble it.
Thank you
Hi Heath. That's awesome. Can you make me one? If so what's tge cost? Cheers Nick
@nickjenness6046 Hey Nick, the price is a bit over $3k if I do the lot for you. Send me an email if you are keen and we can discuss the options. Email address is in video description.
Hi mate how do I contact you to purchase one ?
Hi Shane, send me an e-mail mate. You can find some details written in the video description.
big problem with the Speedo being GPS is that it is illegal in NSW at least to have... and engineers wont pass them - not sure if the one you run does it but a lot of them at key on has "acquiring satellites" ... so they see that and instant fail.... have had many customers had to fit a normal cluster back in to get their car registered ... otherwise they are a great looking thing
Sure. You can buy these gauges with an electronic input if you prefer. I personally prefer GPS.
Can you get them with both electronic input and gps heath?
@@jasonadams3260 In my opinion it could be done but I've not seen it offered by anyone.
The current situation is... the GPS speedo works beautifully for the most part. But if you care about satisfying the road authorities, the electronic input is the alternative that may suit better. It does of course need more wiring and a bit of extra calibration effort. GPS is more popular by a mile.
Was just me but did i hear you bagging out standard S cluster for having idiot lights then expouse the merits of having idiot lights in new cluster as you didn't want to be trying to look at guage reading 😂😂😂 but great upgrade you've created !
Haha, shit! You got me there.
The difference is that you can set the parameters to suit your own settings. I used to run Murphy gauges in my rally car and whilst I could look at the gauges, I set limits and if reached the setting a light would come on the dash, then I would look at the indications on the gauge. Much better to look at the track and not at the gauges in general@@Hezath
@@garrylearmonth9313 of course, that is spot on.
hi heath can you send me your details for purchasing a dash kit for lx please
Hey Brett, sure mate. Just email me at hezath@gmail.com and I'll sort you out. :)
Haven't heard any more from you, Brett.
Hi Heath.
Do you have a contact mate.
I would like one of these for my LX.
@creasybear2530 hey there mate, no problem, email me at hezath@gmail.com
@@Hezath thanks mate. I have sent you an email.
Price for a lh one pls
G'day mate. The price is about $3k for a change-over or cheaper if you buy the parts and put it together yourself. Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested in going ahead (details in the video description)
Looks great
Can i order a fitting kit if you
Have one
How much
Efpas or direct deposit
Do you have speedhut part numbers😊
Cheers. And yep, just send me an email and I'll give you all the details. :)
How much for a kit 🤙
There's a bit of a pricing guide in the video description but email me if you have any specific questions about doing one. :)
Heath could you send me some contact details so I can get in touch with you about a LX gauge kit please.
Hey Mark, no problem mate just send me an email, my address is in the video description. :)
GPS doesnt work good in the city centre like the CBD in Sydney same as my waze and tom tom
I've driven my Torana up to Sydney and driven it around the city for a few days earlier this year. It is still the one that I would choose. But if you care about it momentarily dropping out on occasion, just buy the electronic input version of the same (looking) gauge (part no. R4 S-11).
@@Hezath I ended up buying the speed sensor and put it onto my tailshaft and in NSW it's illegal to have a GPS Speedo unless it has a speed sensor input aka wheel, tailshaft or gearbox ...
Nice work mate! Great video, looks like a top product 👍
Hi Heath. Your a Legend Mate for all your research, development and now sharing of these awesome parts. Such a great informative video too! You sell the speedo with SL/R logo if req heh? Look forward to ordering from you next year. Cheers
G'day Michael, thanks for the kind words and sorry for the late reply mate! I tried to convey as much as I could and it seems to be working given the enthusiastic comments & e-mails I've been getting. Can absolutely do one with an SL/R logo mate, just give me as much notice as you can as I may not have anything suitable in stock at the time.
Will do Heath. Cheers mate 👍
