Classic looking dials. Do you actually need a volt meter? Tidy though.

Very nice,
any reason you didn't put the speedo/rev counter behind the wheel?
That's my one bugbear (soon to be resolved) about my dash, having to take my eyes of the road to see what speed/rpm I'm doing.

If you drive steady like the law says should be easy for you to check speed
Nice looking dash kris
cheers

is it "dash idea" as in you haven't done it yet? If not, I would have put the speedo and rev counter in the driver's side hump,
and the rest in the middle somewhere. something like this, maybe?
btw, nice dials (ETBs like mine - I think - only I have blue pointers and no oil temp gauge)

Put the speedo in front of the passenger to keep them amused
On the other side we have a nice surround and just the koso that does all the biz.
however I do like classic look if I had a kent in the front.
Our dash ideas

Same as above.
I'd of put the big ones above the steering wheel and the little ones nearer so you can read them easier at a glance.
Each to their own though.
If you like them, then so be it.
Can you add your pic to this thread for future reference:

I cant actually get the big ones in front of the steering wheel due too the slope in the dash, plus im going to add a tacho with shift light to the
dash when im SVA-ed!
