Hi Everyone,
I'm looking at restoring the dash panel and gauges for my 1936 Nippy. I'm fairly confident that I have the correct ignition switch and Speedometer, but I'm not so sure about the fuel, ammeter and oil pressure gauges. I was always under the impression that the fuel gauge and ammeter were fairly standard across the range but when I have checked the special parts list (1406NS) they are listed so would I be correct in assuming they aren't the standard's versions?
With regards the oil pressure gauge, I know that they were different (up to 60psi David Harcourt) based on whether or not the engine was force lubricated (which I believe was used from engine no: 241541), although my engine is 240XXX so in this case what version of the gauge do I need to use?
I've (hopefully
) attached some pictures of the gauges that came with my car but they were loose and I think they came from other projects.
Sorry to bombard you all with questions, I just want to try and expand my knowledge and prioritise restoring the gauges that would be correct for my car instead the 'incorrect' versions.
Thanks in advance
Matthew
