does any know the model number of the stack dials? was it a one off made for the VX/Elise? reason i ask is that stack do a load of 'addons' for oil temp, oil pressure etc... wondering if i can fit them

[Ratspants]

I have a suspicious feeling that the VXT unit is not made by Stack, only the NA and earlier Elise S2's.

Edit: Found this...

Lotus started using Shurlock to manufacture the dials for the later Elises, I'd be very surprised if these were different on the VXT. The later Shurlock dials have a Fuel meter indicated by bars rather than a reading in Litres for the STACK units.

Although it would still be interesting to know if the Stack add-ons are compatible with the NA unit.

Yep, VXT has a Vauxhall made copy. Don't know itf it is compatible with other stack stuff though Edit: i stand corrected, it is obviously still out-sourced, but not by stack, which should have been obvious really

Elise 111 & 111S: May 2002VIN character 4 = J; Serial number from 2677.Std. car continues unchanged. 111 & 111S versions available as option, including: 160ps VVC engine; ‘G6’ trans-mission ratios; new exhaust muffler with round tailpipes and flap valve; intake resonator box; oil/water heat exchanger; larger type (a.c.) radiator, twin rad. fans and re-circ. pump; 8-spoke heat treated road wheels; enhanced rear diffuser; Shurlock instrument pack; heater cars use HVAC system (see above) less a.c. equipment

The first Shurlock instruments on the Elise had "SHURLOCK" written under the dials. Whereas the later ones forego this. Note the bars for the fuel.



Just guessing that the VXT will use the same unit, unlikely it wouldn't though.

Ok i'm being stupid here - but i take it this was all liscened to Stack which is why they can use the stack wording ?!?!? ....or does the turbot not have stack wording ?

I would not have thought the stack units in the vxt or the na would be compatible with any stck accesories, I've had them both apart and it looks to me like its a bespoke designed unit for the vx and lotus. There is no provision for plugging anything in.

Turbo has no brandname on the dials...
