Thank you for the info on the 289 sports, -- I will have to go research that line of cars further.

on the 2"1/16th vs 2 5/8" -- The key word there being Street -- , for me personally I always thought the SW instruments looked like tractor gauges anyway.

If the cobra ( or AC 289 sports ) had been produced into 1970's one wonders what the eventual dashes ( gauges ) and bumpers would have looked like, --you can use the Etype and the corvette for reference -- maybe it was a good thing to stop when they did.

I was thinking of a Black on black smiths setup with the GT40 fonts on a dark green leather dash, in a brushed aluminum car. --
