Looking for pictures / ideas for placement of dash gauges

Henry · Post by **Henry** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 4:10 pm

I have an early Mini that I'm making into a race car and want to keep the single speedometer pod, but I'm looking for ideas on how/where to mount extra gauges. I'm going to use Mark's Speedwell tachometer pod on the steering column with a Speedwell tach, but I would also like oil pressure, water temp, and possibly oil temp gauge. I'm looking for "period correct" ideas /pictures on how extra gauges may have been mounted in the early 60s... Thanks!

Innocenti Mini Cooper from the 1970s is the best, I think, but wrong side for us...

That first picture is cool... Looking for what someone might have used in a race car in 1960...Thanks!

It is I believe the dash of a very famous Mini indeed:

One of my most favorite!

Here's my offering, tacho & Combined oil pressure / Water Temp gauge the big orange indicator light is the oil pressure warning light.

This looks nice, but a bit modern for a 1960;

Anyone notice the sticker underneath the wiper?

Thought it would have been picked up by now. Anorak time again....

This is from a 67 that I believe was raced. 130mph speedo in centre
plus all the gauges needed.

OK, I'll re phrase that. . . .

It's so long ago since I have seen Rich's race car it reminds me of the dash in it, its not identical, but some of it is black & some of it is flat. . . . Oh wait a minute, Am I thinking of his Sprint, maybe I am. Oh bugger it, I can't remember now, I'll get mi coat.
