The gauges and switches went into the dash today. This is by no means finished. The wood panel gets covered in leather. All of the gauges need to be rebuilt, and the tach may not be the original type. Notice the difference in the number
size and thickness. I think all the others are original and generally they work but need to be freshened up. Notice on the back side of the tach there are two holes presumably for lights that have been stuffed with cork.
It looks about right -

Oh, and go hawks!
Thanks, Zach. I was looking at XKdata and it does seem to agree that the typeface is larger on the tach.
ReplyDeleteSleeping much?
Sleep? Who needs it?
ReplyDeleteShe actually slept through the night last night for the first time (that I can remember, anyway).
Oh, and dig up your Original Jaguar XK book(s) for all the photos you'll need of the gauges.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zach. Congrats on the sleep. Joe has all of my xk books right now. He needs them more than me. What I am doing can wait if necessary.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any shots of the original heater? The one I was trying to use won't work.
I don't have any heater shots. Sounds like a trip to Joe for a checkup and some reading is in order.
