Hi there, congratulations on your choice of kit.
I was planning to stay with the 13" late spitfire style wheels that came with my donor. I was going to add larger tyres, 175/80/13 with white walls to give the appearance of a bigger rim and with dummy spinners bolted to spitfire centre trims for the Dunlop racing wheel look on the cheap. Then a set of 14" MGB wires came up locally at a bargain price...
As for the brake hydraulic components, when you're driving the finished car your life depends on these bits. Bite the bullet and buy new. Make savings elsewhere but fit new brakes.
As for the rev counter there are loads of electronic ones advertised on ebay from about £30 new, and some look pretty period, especially ones meant for powerboats.
Good luck finding the parts you need.
