Kept breaking the speedo cable to the back of the original gauge. So figured a new set-up was in order.
My favorite part is the recessed switch insert. It its illuminated under the upper lip.

It's different and very nicely made. Love the instruments. I can imagine this inside a 'modern art' style Vixen similar to the look of this Grantura :



Good job.

Hi Bert,

The gauges came from a company in the US called Speed Hut.

This should correct my issue with the original tach being for the Triumph straight six and my new 309 V8.


I quite like the "battleship" grey TVR image too Steve. When the time comes to paint mine it will be a contender.
