That'll be the speedo on the right is it? lol sorry couldn't resist that one!

[sidney]

As i have done away with fuel, temp etc with fitting 1600e clocks, knocked up a holder for gauges and original mk1 switches, same dimensions as ashtray switch panel that its going to replace, so hopefully won't look to out of place.



O and couldnt resit a pic of veiw up to workshop!

Cheers Martin.

[sidney]

Got gauge panel finished of, bought some rivnuts to hold front on first time used them and not the last, spot on job
Put a bit of satin black on to match rest of dash.
Then made a big incission!





Trial fitted new full length top panel, needs inner wing trimming down more to butt up to top plate, then a bit of weld



Well pleased with quality of fit of express panels.
If anyone has some switches lying around in better order give us a shout cheers martin
