I did some indoor work today, as I am sick of working out in the cold.
I intend to use Jaguar dials in my dashboard.
The repro ones that companies sell for replica XKSS cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds, and that’s exchange too.
Not for me, besides, the repro dials look like repro, and do not have the quality look that genuine Jag ones have.
So, I took my Spit rev counter apart and took my Jag one apart, and after a bit of cutting, drilling, filing, swearing, f*****g things up a few times , I finally ended up with the Spitfire rev counter guts bolted into the Jaguar case, complete with the Jag dial back in place.
Does it work? Well, it worked when it came out of the Spit, and I’ve only changed the dial and pointer, so it should, but I can’t check it in the car, as the radiator’s not in place
‘cos the fan’s not arrived yet, etc etc.
It will I am sure, make the needle go around the dial, and that’s all I want.
Here are some pics:
