This is a dash photo of an Austin Healy, but I thought it could be an inspiration for a roundie dash given that it has a similar oval shape except this is elongated and holds two large circular gauges.
I think it could be made to work ....like a factory approved option. 8)
Another photo here...

Didn't someone make something similar on here, perhaps it was the moke forum?

I think they used an oval marine binnacle, it would have been similar dimensions to this one, i'll see if i can dig up a picture

I've always thought your gauge setup very well done.
It also shows that if someone wanted to build a custom dash in the "conventional" position the Austin Healy style would work.

Honest appologies... :lol:

I think the Healey dash would work very well indeed! Bit like the Broadspeed dash, but cooler 8)
