I am thinking about putting a woodgrain dash into the mini, probably like this one http://www.minisport.com.au/prod1673.htm

I am interested to hear if other have used a similar, if so what size gauges did you use and where were they available from? Does a three gauge cluster fit? So far I can find gauges for the smaller holes fairly easily but the larger gauges don't seem to be very common?

cheers,

CJ

The standard 3 gauge leyland cluster screws to the back of the wood grain dash. I don't know about non standard gauges.

Excellent, I have 2 sets of triple gauge clusters to choose from :)

No idea if either of them work :roll:

Next question, can you get new face cards for the Leyland gauges to make them look a little better?

My taco was a second hand non goer from the mini king. Took it to a a speedo and instrument place and they fitted a new circuit card in the back, retaining the original plastic body and face.

The one above was 130 pounds and 80 pounds shipping from Huddersfield UK. You can work out the dollar conversion :roll:
