I think it looks bigger as it just sat in front of the original. Can’t remember the size will have to check tomorrow. I’ve gone by recommendation from Malcolm at Automotivenostalgia.

Hugh - Grassbank are developing a cream version of their main instrument replacement backing which would match your auxiliary gauges perfectly. Have a word with Justin.

Really pleased with them. Justin at Grassbank gave good advice for fitting them too.
