Yeah thanks Bennie ... :D

The side steps & steering wheel were a 'find' from some 'picking' session near Ipswich. It's same wheel as I have in the touring wagon, so got it for spares + looks ok, so might clean it up & put it in the brumby for something different ... :)

Re clusters - I must have just missed out on a few 1/2 dozen or so to date - as they keep selling them before I can even get a bid in ... :rolleyes:

Do keep an eye out & give us a heads up if you come across some, as I'm not the only one who's looking for 'em ... ;)

Ta, Bantum ...

No worries mate, I can tell you that I'll be grabbing any I see out there, complete with the dashboard if possible ;) They're becoming few and far between in the parts yards though!

Cheers

Strait steering ...

Post by Bantum » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:54 pm

Also took this home to clean up :

Image

It does need to have some repair work done ( suffering from the usual Oz sun damage ) Not 100% sure how to fix that yet, any suggestions ?

Add : Yes will be getting a 'stichup' leather cover for this, more to come on that when it arrives ... :)

Cheers, Bantum ...

So that cluster from a 2wd or 4wd?

Only asking as "all" of mine (a whole two) need the 4wd light and wiring added.

Not so ...

Post by Bantum » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:58 am

Yeah - I just checked & it's from a Leone Sedan 2wd, so no 4wd light - doh ... :(

Image

It does have the lights on the back for it, no writing on the Telltale ( graphic monitor ) though.

Easy enough to fix, just need to print out some text ... ;)

Image

Some more pictures :

Image

P.S. - What Colour were the 4wd Telltales ? ( Green comes to mind )

Image

Oh well - Win some, Lose some ... :rolleyes:

Telltale ...

Post by Bantum » Sun Nov 15, 2015 5:52 pm

Finished drawing up a new Telltale to suit the old dash :

Image

Add : I've posted this up in the download section so if you ever need to print one out it's there ... ;)

& got some LED telltales :
Image

Now onto the next bit ... ;)

Broken ...

Post by Bantum » Sat Dec 19, 2015 1:49 am

So when I was taking apart the new Analogue dash I thought I could hear something rattling around inside, so when I eventually dug out all the loose bits I found this :

Image

Don't know how long it's been like that, some time I'd say ...
Add : F*ck knows how it got like that too ... !

So got to cleaning it up & stuck it back together :

Image

Will be interesting to see if it holds :

Image

If not I'll be looking for another one I guess ... :rolleyes:

Numbers game ...

Post by Bantum » Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:05 am

So while I'm here, what should I wind these babies to ?

Image

Thinking they should match the same mileage from what is currently showing on the old one ...

+ cleaned up some of the other gauges :

Image

I should be getting some time to work on removing the old dash over the Christmas period to swap these over ... :D

Cheers, Bantum ...

Ouch! I knew those plastic backing whatsits would be brittle, is that one for the speedo? to find a replacement would be about as hard as finding the analogue dash to begin with! :(

I'm going to wind my clock round to what the original car was showing when I took it off the road, just for continuity ;)
