I'm not a massive fan of my Rover 3 Clock dashboard. I've also just removed my air conditioning, and need to replace the fascia anyway.

How hard would it be to revert to the original, center gauge style? In fact - how hard will it be to get all the parts I need? Is it worth my time to consider?

Thanks guys!

To convert to a old school centre binnacle you need to have a loom conversion/adaptor and obviously the correct old parts!

Once you remove the crash pads you'll see everything is as original mini, even hole for ash tray. Not the best photo but you'll see what I mean.

I believe there is an adapter loom available, it's a pretty popular thing to do in UK
