Ahhhh..... artificial horizon :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  - had to do a search :roll:

The original ones that were in Pajeros and Shoguns are pendulums - well weighted balls - they are also dampened with glycerin, I leave why for you to work out  :wink:


The proper ones, as used in aircraft, work on the gyroscopic principle

Little-Green-Machine:
Thanks a lot!!! i think they are damped so that they dont swing back and forth to quickly ,so they give an acurate reading. thanks a lot really helped :D

I guess they are pendulums, mine goes into the red on roundabouts :roll:   I never have time to look at it when I'm off-road.
