I was at the autoX for a couple of hours for a day out on my on my BSA. I didn't officially register for a reason, stubborn excuse really that I won't elaborate on, but in retrospect I wish I had.

Looks great Larry. (little hijack...),  did I miss seeing it in person at MMWest?  Did you ever swing by the Car Show?

Like the dash.  I also installed the dual oil pressure/water temp guage  (works pretty well) and was going to add the voltmeter as well.  The wood looks really good.

SXman, I'm still using the flexible coupler between in the oil pressure gauge line. If it fails again I won't be so stupid to keep going. The dash wood is ash .... to match the exterior woodwork. My next dress-up project is an Aussi nudge bar and maybe a roof rack.

Looks great. I always liked those dual gauges.

Looks like a nice set up.

Is your oil gauge line steel from one end to another now ?

I installed a dual oil pressure/water tempearture gauge and a battery condition gauge in my Traveller. It took a couple od days of messing around. I've always liked the combination compared to the stock setup. I had one mishap. I hooked up a gound wire to a live wire and turned on the key. There was a snap and crackle and a good puff of Lucas smoke  in the brief instant the key was on. There was no damage other than a thoroughly melted insulation on the goung wire.
