Yes indeed, thanks Derek. A previous owner of my car filled in the ash tray and replaced it with a temp gauge and a cut off switch. Actually, the radio opening was butchered and there was at one time possibly four gauges in place. I found a nice period radio with a chrome plate that covers the carnage behind it. I replaced the temp gauge and switch with Smiths oil pressure and voltage gauges from ebay. There was a TIM tach on the dash but I didnt like the look of it. I found a Smiths tach on ebay with a pod and replaced it with that. Easy enough to find this side of the water I seem to remember. There was a big hole in my dashpad, so I had to do something! My proper temp gauge when I got the car didnt work so I replaced that with a new one from Brookhouse. Pic below...
Hugh.
