An update on progress...
Dash needed some work. Decided awhile back that a Cole Hersee "on-off-on" switch would work for direction indicator operation, and it would seem that this solution would be OK at inspection time.
So, moved my Cole Hersee master switch from the dash panel to to an accessible spot on the passenger's side, with a bracket attached to the underside of the glovebox.
It's actually well clear of a passenger's knee, so it is quite safe. Oh, and I had to shrink my switch panel back to 3 switches only, as it was too close to the driver's knee.

So, all good with the switches, however the next problem is the speedometer fit....note the structural member going "east-west" just behind the dash panel. The tacho fits OK (just), but that gauge has less challenging rear 'topography' than the speedo


Here's the back of the speedometer, where it can be seen what will be interfering with that aluminium tube (the black tube is the odometer reset)....

Obviously, I new this problem would have to be addressed eventually, so when I have a solution through, I'll post it


Cheers!

My solution to the speedo reset cable.

Thanks. My problem, however, is that the speedo cable (in particular,) and the odometer reset cable (only slightly less so), are aimed directly at the horizontal structural member (welded in, and approx. 35mm diameter).
The clearance between the rear face of the speedometer and that structural member is minimal (a couple of millimetres )

I'l post a picture of the solution..... when I work out what the it is.

Cheers!
Glen


edit/progress update: I checked with my engine man yesterday for "progress". Eight mechanics would normally be in the shop; last week only two guys there. Yesterday, started out with three, and that soon dropped back to two. COVID-19, of course
