Yeah thanks Bennie ...
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 ...
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

Some pictures from the weekend ...
Took the cluster out to do some work on it - will post some more of that later ...
Also came with a dash mat ...
I'm pretty stoked with it having no Cracks in dash ... :Win:
Cheers, Bantum ...

Also took this home to clean up :
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.
Cheers
Bennie
Not so ...

Yeah - I just checked & it's from a Leone Sedan 2wd, so no 4wd light - doh ...
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 ...
Some more pictures :
P.S. - What Colour were the 4wd Telltales ? ( Green comes to mind )
Oh well - Win some, Lose some ...
Cheers, Bantum ...

Telltale ...

Finished drawing up a new Telltale to suit the old dash :
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 :
Now onto the next bit ...
Ciao, Bantum ...
Broken ...

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 :
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 :
Will be interesting to see if it holds :
If not I'll be looking for another one I guess ...
Ciao, Bantum ...

So while I'm here, what should I wind these babies to ?
Thinking they should match the same mileage from what is currently showing on the old one ...
+ cleaned up some of the other gauges :
I should be getting some time to work on removing the old dash over the Christmas period to swap these over ...
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
