Dashboard Decisions

I have finally made my mind up regarding which instruments to use - Smiths Cobra Mechanical ones. A quick hash up with PowerPoint gives an idea of what the centre of the dash will look like:

I much prefer the look of the 270 degree sweep mechanical gauges as opposed to the short sweep electrical - although this means having to chew on fitting the sender bulbs and associated capillary tubing but the end effect is worth it. Also, after a lot of false starts I have opted for the GD pyramid arrangement - I couldn't find another aesthetically pleasing arrangement where you could see all the gauges. The oil, charge & brake warning lights will be over by the steering column in line of sight.

Just need to order these tomorrow.
