Forgot to post some pics of the Dashboard Work In Progress. This is the updating of the Dash to remove all Lucas wiring and related. I had a spare set of Tiger gauges restored but deemed them too nice for my car, so I sold them and ordered a customized set from Speed Hut.

Here are a few pics, more current stuff is posted on the webpage here -

I have a larger oil pressure gauge going into that, and a smaller oil temp gauge going into the spare hole. Hopefully will have gauges next week from SpeedHut.

Why were the stock gauges to nice, it looks like you have a Beautiful walnut dash, I think the stock gauges would have looked great in it... Dash looks very high quality.

They were too nice for my project as I thought someone with a restored Tiger would be better off with them. My project is less about keeping things original, so better for someone who needs a set of fully restored gauges. I have a set of Speed Hut gauges (I hate the name), and they better suited to my needs yet still look Tiger'ish.

The dash wood work is fantastic to say the least.
