Dash plates?

[Jim-ME]

I have a Smiths Tach from a 4 cyl MG mounted in a wiper motor cover from a late 2A. I believe mine was origionally in a miget. Works great.

If you are using Pertronix or other electronic ignition system, look for a later (mid seventies or newer) Smiths tachometer marked RVC on the face. These are the voltage sensing tachs and they work with electronic ignition. The earlier Smiths ones are marked RVI -they are current sensing and work with points systems.

Hi,

Check this thread for more info on some of the panels.

As others also said, Pangolin has used ones as well.

Thanks for linking to the other thread. I'll shoot him an email and report back.

Impressively, Peter referenced in the link above already responded to my email this morning. He only makes the side dash plates and only does them for the Series 2. Great service though to respond so quickly.

I had a great experience dealing with Peter. Bought several plates from him and he was very helpful in getting me the right ones. There are several options, including:

- the size of hole (for the standard size gauges) or he might be able to custom punch these or order with no holes and DIY for a custom gauge or switch

- one, two, or no holes

- hole at top or bottom if one

- right or left handed

- with the side panel that covers up the wiring, or without (i.e.- if you wanted to put several side-by-side, you probably don't want the side panels except on the ones that are at the outer ends of the grouping)

- with or without the notches for the vent lever brackets, etc.

I got a later wiper motor cover from Pangolin for a different project (lots o' switches). Great to deal with too.
