cheers Kevin, rear fenders are in progress as we speak hahahaha. The Mk2 guage you sent, does it have the reset trip for it ? and do you know where i could get a new bezzel ring for the dash itself as the hole appears to large for the gauge... on pictures of dashes there appears to be a bezzel ring with screws in.

hi, sorry I havent got a trip cable, there is a bezal ring which goes on the inside with jacking screw holes in it, i will have a look for it, on the outside there is another ring, this is something you will have to make, if you doing a dash with a british smiths gauge you would not need this ring.

Rivetting
Hi mate
ref your question to Kevin about what direction to put rivets in. I think when they were built the rivet were put in from the inside out and domed over into the counter sink how ever i found doing them the other way round worked best? if your not going to c/s you r holes i dont think it matters. but looking good mate I have mine at home in the garage now drove it home last sunday in the snow she went well and top speed was 35mph. can do the last few jobs now and just tinker with her
