Hello chaps,

I've started thinking about the dash on my special, can anyone confirm if the dials are indeed 7 related ?

would also be super grateful if anyone has some spare they are willing to sell ...

please note the domestic light switch under the dash...

cheers
Matt

Hi

Difficult to say without some clearer pictures.  The oil gauge and ammeter could be but I don't think the speedo is.  However its a special use what you like!

The "domestic" light switch may not be.  These type of switches were used for interior lights in cars.

I like the dashboard "as it is" and I'm sure it would polish up.  I could see it with a swirled machined face.  Smile

Cheers

Howard

The ammeter looks to be from any Seven from 1933 onwards, the oil guage is 1930-32 Austin Seven; hard to tell on the speedo - it could be a late Ruby, or it could be a foreigner!

Smiths Chronometric speedo? Looked a bit like MA, but the trip and miles are further out...

I cleaned up a steering wheel with a plastic pan scourer. It did a good job without much scratching.
