Made some more rivetcountry correct parts today in skool! At some point in it's life someone fitted an extra dial above the oil temp gauge, an combined oil pressure and water temp gauge but the capillary water temp part had been cut off long ago. I did find out that there are NOS panels available from Blanchards, for £56
I am all for using NOS parts if I can but not at that price though, so last night I set about taking off the old one to take into college today
The original was ali but the college didn't have any in the right thickness, but does have galvanised sheets that was so opted to use this instead (dont count that rivet)
Cut out and holes drilled.
Side part folded into shape.
Marked up for spot welding.
And finished before tea break too
