Dash unit assemblies
Over the last couple of years I have slowly (and I do mean slowly) put 2 dash assemblies together. It has taken awhile to find and collect original toggle switches, NOS dash warning lights etc. Dad and I had many gauges, so it was a matter of seeing what we had, repairing them with new decals, finding NOS gauges at swap meets and then putting them together. No rush as the vehicle does not need them yet.
I had an original dash board that I copied to make another dash board, an early dash without the switch guard that will go into hull 731.
Just some pics to show my progress.
I came to a stand still with the wiring as I think it will be easier with the dash in the vehicle and a loom to conect to.
I have gone with the gold surrounds with red stripes as I have seen numerous BGC with this in their dash assemblies, not sure if this is 100% correct, but I think at the time they did come like this.
