John – When you say roached out do you mean burnt metal? Let’s see what you got.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackRoy – How did you get 5 gauges in a 3 gauge cluster? With the switches there and indicator lights I wouldn’t have thought there would be room.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackCould someone trace the outside lines of the original center gauge panel for me? Not concerned about gauge or switch placement, only the curves and corners of the center panel itself. Thanks!
Trying to find your pic, Allen. Any idea of which show folder to look in? You’ve got a lot of pics! 😉 KentT2015-02-13 10:26:34

Slowly coming back from the ashes...The picture was from the FL Bug Jam back in 2010. My album was reaching its full capacity by then so I deleted the photos from 2000 to 2010. Sorry about that. I’ll check my thumb drives at home and see if I still have the photo.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackJohn, if Allen doesn’t want that panel, I’ll certainly take it! Some real potential there – worst case would be to use as a template!

I’m not really sure what I can do with all the holes for the switches and warning lights. Kent – go for it.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackThanks, Allen, on both counts! Since I’m using an aftermarket steeing wheel, I don’t think that clock would work for me!
John, I’ll send you a PM.

Found this on line at: http://tempusfugitgarage.com/mg-td-dash-instrument-cluster/
They seem to have a lot of old dashs, metal and wood.Bill

Ed,
They didn’t post any prices, probably have to contact them at the address I put with the picture.BillBad Bill
I just looked at that site, and I think it primarily sells vintage British car decals and illustrations, with a sideline blog about the owner’s past cars and restorations. This is a dash he apparently worked on for a friend with an MG-TF:
I’d love to redo my Lafer’s dash along those lines, but don’t have the money to have it done or the expertise to do it myself. [Sigh]
