Default 'Garage Art' FIA Dash Project

Need gauges, switches & lamps to populate the FIA dash that I recently purchased from David Krikham's epic 'scratch and dent' sale. The goal is to wind up with a piece of unique 'Garage Art'.

Looking for any non functional, surplus or even slightly damaged instruments and parts that are either inexpensive or free. If you have any to sell or donate to the project, please send me a PM and we can arrange the details.

The holes for the tachometer and speedometer are 3-3/8" and the holes for the other instruments are 2-5/8"

Not necessarily looking for 'period correct', just something close enough.

--------------

Some time ago, I took a photo of the dash of the Gurney car, CSX 2323, and it had the following instruments (left to right)

- water temp
- tach
- oil pressure
- amp
- oil temp
- pressure
- speedo (far right, out of the picture)

The hole pattern is different than the dash I have. I would imagine that there were variations of instrument layouts over the years, especially for racing cars.

I would suspect that a fuel gauge could be substituted for the 'pressure' gauge?

So … any parts, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
