G'day,
As you can probably tell by looking left, I'm new here. And I've got a new car. The previous owner had a Weber in it (he kept it), and so he installed a Weber Box in the firewall. My car's a 69 Deluxe, so it had the standard speedo and two clocks, which he's just moved to sit in front of the driver. It's currently held in place with a zip tie.
I love the look of the old Smiths gauges, but leaving it set up as it is won't work - the binnacle's skewed a bit, and the rest of the dash needs doing - there aren't any cards in there or anything like that. What have other people done..? Anyone got any photos? I've tried searching on here, but haven't turned up much other than Clubman dashes, suggestions of Rover dashes, and TonyE's dash, with the Triumph Dolomite tacho (which looked very good). I'd really rather stick with the Smith's speedo I've already got, it looks great, and, although it's a bit pessimistic (36mph/60kmh reads as 33), it's not far off reading correctly (my diff is supposed to be a much-taller-than-standard ratio - I haven't got a tacho yet, so I don't know for sure).
I'd love to see some photos of what other people have done, to see if my ideas for what I might do would work...
