Hi,

Got my self a new fiberglass dash (see pic) and was wondering what dials people have used ?
there was 2 or 3 in the dashboard directory, but its hard to see from there pics.

in my dads mini his got dolomite sprint dials (see pic) and i like the chrome rings but i cant find a set of these anywhere. has anyone got any ideas of where i can buy dials like these or old cars they where in


cheers jack

1 mine is not fitted in yet so i couldnt tell you

2 im going to modify the bottom part of the dash so i can still use the heater

3 there is a fair gap at the bottom

4 depends what dials you use, i was thinking of using a digital dash but there 350+

5 yes there is a glove box, i havent fitted it yet.

want to get on with my custom rear lights before i get the dash all fitted

The doorcards are off ebay, can't remember the name of the seller now, i'll have a look later

i ditched the heater in mine, it was leaky anyway, if worse comes to worse i'll get a 12v ceramic heater from maplins for the winter months

Those door cards are by far the nicest i've seen, they look so good with the dashboard as well

Does anyone know if you can still get them and if so where from?

Thanks Mike.

Minispares do a good range of gauges

or you could try Moss, most classic Triumphs and MGs had chrome rimmed gauges.

My Min has a walnut dash but I am thinking of going retro with a 3 dial binny that I have bought. Trouble is I got a fibreglass dash and console upstairs as well and I can`t decide which of the 3 ways to go.....helllllllllllllllllllp
