I'm thinking Sunpro as well as it'd be a pretty easy swap if I stay with the current layout. I love the look of the Smith's tach, but a 5" tach will not fit in my car.

Rick has a 5" Smiths tach and a blank dash on order, so I may go USRRC layout and an authentic painted look instead of the covering.

2345 has a Smith's tach, but it appears to be 3 3/8".

I did find a 10psi Fuel Pressure gauge that I really need to have restored (yellowed and dirty but functional). The speedometer is likely to be VERY elusive. I wonder if anyone screen prints them?

Best,

Ron

PS: Are you on the road with yours?

Hi Ron,

I get the impression you’re not thrilled with the FIA dash layout. Perhaps you miss not being able to read the speedo? Joking aside I think your dash project sounds sharp – keep us posted.

Perhaps these guys could help you out.

Yes, she’s on the road… thanks for asking.

I have a 2 5/8 15 pound SW gauge. Not new, but never used. I would like to swap it out and install a Kirkham volt meter. Make me an offer I can't refuse!
